I'd call it a "virtual martial law," or perhaps a "voluntary martial law" at best.

I am not aware of anyone being arrested for "violating" the "shelter in place" request.
Some of the video of LE Officers clearing houses appears a bit authoritative, given the "request," but I haven't seen enough to form a solid opinion yet.

Actually, I am impressed with the number of people who stayed the hell out of the LE Officers' way throughout the event.

However, there are always the few who are clueless:

Emmanuel Der Torossian and his daughter Julie, 13, whose back porch overlooks Franklin St., ventured into the streets for a stroll soon after the police lifted the curfew in the neighborhood at 6 p.m.

If 1000 LE officers just had a shootout and 20-something hour search in my neighborhood, I would not "venture into the streets for a stroll" with my 13 year old daughter minutes after being told, "We did not catch him yet."

Get what they deserve - morons.
