OK, so we clarified they are not criminals, they are just being treated like criminals for not following curfew regulations.
You call it "controlling", I call it "trying to control the spread of the disease"
And FWIW, I've never been detained in almost 50 years.
The curfew has not affected me significantly. I go to work every day, don't go out at night and visit the supermarket on Sunday morning.
In fact, my business has doubled since COVID started. The only time I've worn a mask is when I go to the supermarket and when I receive visitors at work.
What were you doing the 4 times you've been detained?
