Creepy NY Bill Allows the State to Detain Anyone Deemed a “Public Health Threat”

A bill originally drafted during the Ebola scare of 2015 is being resurrected by New York State lawmakers. If passed, it would allow the state to detain anyone even suspected of being sick in the event of a health emergency.

A416 states that the governor, health commissioner, or someone acting under the authority of one of these individuals could obtain a court order to detain anyone as long as there is “clear and convincing evidence” that the person could put another person’s health at risk.

Had this bill been passed at the onset of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Governor Andrew Cuomo could have officially detained just about anyone in the Empire State.

However, the bill gets even worse. It clearly states that the governor would force detained individuals to undergo “prescribed courses of treatment, preventative medication, or a vaccination.” Put simply, those who are detained not only lose basic rights — but are then forced to undergo state-mandated treatment.

Even so, Democrat New York State Assemblyman Nick Perry, who originally presented what local GOP lawmakers have dubbed “the Gulag Bill,” says that there are no provisions that would violate Americans’ rights. Governor Cuomo is even more dismissive. His office claims that it knew nothing about the bill until The Daily Caller started asking questions about it. It’s hard to believe that this is true given the fact that Republican, Democrat, and even Libertarian politicians have commented on it. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that the governor doesn’t exactly have a track record of being fully honest with the people he governs.

A416 isn’t about protecting civilians in the event of a health emergency, even though that is what the bill’s proponents would have New Yorkers believe. Rather, it’s about granting the government total control over its citizens. The bill infringes on basic human rights by allowing detentions of anyone the government and its acolytes in the court system think could be a “threat.” It also gives the state government power to make medical decisions on behalf of the innocent people being detained.

This is a bill one would expect to see in Communist China, not a free nation. Unfortunately, New York Democrats are all too eager to live out their totalitarian dreams. And let’s be honest — they’re probably going to get away with it at some point.

  3. Many of the people that voted for these Democrats then leave for Florida to escape the tyranny, where they end up voting for the same liberal politicians they escaped from. Einstein defined that sort of thing as insanity, doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.

  4. The Authoritarian Dictates of this Incompetent Despot speaks Volumes. Andy & Debacle DeBlasio not only think Nothing of Trampling & Dismissing the Constitutional Rights of the American Citizens in’ their Domain’, They keep EGREGIOUSLY, by Intent, Doubling down to go further.

And only a fool will believe anything that NOT TRUE! Just as these POLITICAN has done in New York and California! A wolf leading the sheep’s to their death!

  7. I had heard that on January 6th, they were putting this bill to vote. i think its called A-416. does anybody know if this happened and WHAT happened? of course, the corrupt legislature – in the Emperor’s pocket- chose a day when the election results were being voted on in the Senate, like we wouldn’t notice if this horrendous bill ever passed. i think we got screwed royally by the Senate and now again by NYS.

  8. A famous German man and his following did something similar 80 years ago. The end result was 6 million Jews and 9 million Polish people were executed.

  9. I live in Pennsylvania. We have a dumbass governor as well. A Democrat. Surprise! He might try something like this before he gets out of office. Oh wait. There might not be any more elections. The people that voted for these communist and socialist politicians. Thank you very much! You think they are going to do what they? If they got away with this sham of an election. They don’t know their limits but will start something they truly will NOT win

  10. Don’t worry America…..President Trump is not going anywhere. The White Hats are fixing to rain down the wrath of God on these leftist scumbags, who’ve conducted a political coup and psychological warfare on the people of America…..hang tight folks, “The Donald” is coming to the rescue, and all these scumbags who’ve plagued our nation are fixing to meet their much deserved fate…..
