Pro Bono NYS Lawsuit against “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures”
Please be aware: Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox, of Cox Lawyers, PLLC, filed a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court at the beginning of April with regards to regulation 10 NYCRR 2.13 “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures”, effective 04/22/2022.
10 NYCRR 2.13 gives the following allowances:
Allows the DOH to pick and choose who they want to force to isolate or quarantine, without proof that the person poses a health threat, for however long the DOH wishes to force the quarantine, and at a location that the DOH deems appropriate (which can include a quarantine “facility” or detention center).
They do not need to prove that you are actually sick. They can just suspect that you MIGHT be harboring a communicable disease.
There is no age restriction, so they can force you, or your child, or your elderly parent/grandparent into isolation or quarantine, for however long they want!
According to Cox, “The case is all about separation of powers between the Executive branch of government (the Governor and DOH) vs the Legislative branch of government (our State Senators and Assembly Members). This ‘regulation’ is really a law that the Governor and DOH are illegally forcing on the people. Only the Legislative branch has the power to make law. The Governor and her Department of Health do not have the power to force people to isolate or quarantine.”
