Arrow Checkpoints Limit Entry to County Residents...

Covid-19 checkpoints targeting out-of-state residents draw complaints and legal scrutiny:

Dare County Emergency Management has set up roadblocks at all entry points to the county in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Drivers must stop and present proof of local residency or other acceptable identification to gain entry. (Daniel Pullen/for The Washington Post)

While the efforts initially targeted residents of New York, which has the most coronavirus cases, they quickly expanded. At local checkpoints for people entering North Carolina’s Outer Banks, police ask motorists for ID. Only those with a local address or proof of residency, such as a special resident permit or utility bill, are allowed to proceed.

Same for one South Florida County, previously noted:

Quote:
Actually, an ID showing residency is required to enter the County. Familiar, prominent (but fraudulent) IDs were uncovered, and you can slip-by Deputies by using a boat.
Quote:
"Not only that, checkpoints are also seeing people who are making changes to their mailing addresses and driver’s license address just days before their attempt to get through. And it’s opened up a new problem and a new investigation within the county Tax Collector’s Office".
Of course, there's Miami's Fisher Island, the most expensive real estate in one ZIP code. They've bought serological test kits for everyone on the island.
