If anyone finds a source about some of the finer details of this order I'd appreciate it. For example, in California, people can still go for neighborhood walks. Is that true in Colorado?

Thanks Miss Hepburn. The order you linked is not the governor's order, but one from Jefferson County and some other nearby areas. I am not sure if the governor's order might be any different in some of the details.

So far the only specifics I can find about the governor's orders are on the Colorado Public Radio website. Unfortunately, they don't go into much detail. I would imagine that by tomorrow morning there will be more information forthcoming.

The purpose seems to be to shut down the idiots who don't believe the problem exists or applies to them, and force businesses to rethink their notions of "necessity."

I don't see where reasonable behavior will be limited, targeted or suppressed.

So, is simply being outside of your home probable cause to be detained or interrogated by the police?

Can you be pulled over for simply traveling a road?

The wording from the document is downright scary....

"This order is an executive order, which means it's the law of Colorado. It's illegal to break the law. ".

I am all for putting a stop to this virus but not at the expense of protected freedoms. I would love to hear some legal guidance on this from the CO Attorney.
