The Virginia State Police announced their procedures for handling Governor Northam’s Executive Orders 53 and 55.
In a statement released today, VSP says-
Virginia State Police have been and will continue to assess Virginia EO violations on a case‐by‐case basis.
State police is required to uphold the laws of the Commonwealth and will continue to have a visible presence within our communities and on the roads for the safety of those living, working and traveling in Virginia. The law still requires law enforcement to have reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop on a vehicle. Virginia State Police will not be making random traffic stops on vehicles nor conducting checkpoints to determine if a driver is traveling for a permissible reason, as granted by EO 53 and EO 55.
No checkpoints, no random stops to ask why a person is out. This is still America.
