Currently, two presidential orders are in force:Home Inviolability: Allows for immediate break-ins to capture high-value targets.Correspondence Inviolability: Facilitates the interception of communications from criminal structures.Failure to comply with curfew is considered a crime of failure to comply with legitimate decisions of a competent authority, which can be punished with sentences of one to three years in prison." - https://www.facebook.com/share/1Fr7iC9W3X/?mibextid=wwXIfr#USCoastGuard#SouthCom#CountDown#ThePurge
