Obama’s former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said “Never let a crisis go to waste”, something that the government of New York City seems to have taken to heart.
As the biggest snow storm this year advances towards America’s largest population center, the authorities have basically declared martial law. Citing the massive storm as too big a threat to disregard, the New York Police Department is threatening to arrest anyone who travels on the road in the coming days.
Calling the radical measure a “travel ban”, the NYPD say it is meant to protect New Yorkers from the potentially devastating weather. Drivers do not even need to be committing a crime to be arrested: they simply need to be on the road for law enforcement to apprehend them.

I sure am, aren’t you?
It looks good to see some freedom in this country, screw Marshall law!
This isn’t true….
Diblasio gave our police zero respect when some crazy savages were shooting cops in their cars in different boroughs…..
So don’t shovel ur drive or the side walks ! The police know better , stay inside . Do as I say not as I do.
I didn’t say it wasn’t true. I said it was misleading, and it is because they weren’t arresting anyone but if your car was on the road, it was likely to be towed than you being arrested.
any cop that tries to arrest me would be shot immediately. a travel ban is unconstitutional and any one that enforces it is a traitor. i will kill them on the spot for treason
who needs to go any where in the storm it makes it harder to clean the streets trust me i know if you have to go out to thd hospital dr church or the store then stay your butts home while the crews work to clean our streets
How in the hell can u tell someone to not go out side during a storm of any kind !?
I didn’t see a video. Just the article.
