That was a whole lot of hubbub over people getting handed a pamphlet reminding them of a rule they had to follow and may not have been aware of.

So much hubbub that Cuomo threatened to sue and the door to door campagin immediately ended, then the license plate checking expanded to all out of state license plates?

This the same Cuomo that lied about how many elderly people his policies killed?

Yeah, that Cuomo.

The lawsuit threats were over them pulling people over, which probably did violate laws since they were detaining people selectively, even if they were swore it was for the right reason and it was just to pass along info.
The door to door thing was plan B IIRC. And it was a stupid thing to get mad about.
Edit: that tweet is you linked is blatantly lying. Nobody was being forced to take a COVID test. They were told the policy and given a pamphlet.

Someone asked at a press conference about RI targeting NY plates.
The campaign of the cops with the national guard driving around house to house looking for NY plates was immediately ended, and the checkpoints were expanded to all out of state plates.
This made it inconvenient mostly for people who lived out of state but worked in Rhode Island. They were given a permission slip, but still had to go through the checkpoints and were liable to get pulled over.

That's one opinion to have.

it was targeted imtimidation. They were trying to deny NY'er use of their property.

you think any one of them was going to turn around and leave their vacation home to go back to a city with twenty five thousand people per square mile? Please.
To be honest, I think the biggest failure of COVID policy is that this, much like everything else, ran on the honor system.

There were people asking Gina to use the coast guard to patrol the coast to make sure they weren't coming in that way, and she respond like it was a good idea they would consider instead of dismissing it as ridiculous. Others were upset that there would be NY'ers using area hospital beds. The RI yokels were out of control and ridiculous with their demands.

Are these people in the room with you now?

you think that didn't happen with the yokels going nuts in the state at the time?
