We require it every other aspect of daily life in society. Proof of insurance or a drivers licence when operating a motor vehicle, registration of a car, a billing and mailing address address for purchases. A name or an ID to collect a package from the post office. Whether I agree or not covid has been declared a global emergency.
It all came off the fact that people weren't adult enough to stay home here in Australia when they returned from overseas or were feeling sick. At the start of this people were home quarantining and ducking out to the shops. People get paid $450 to get tested as encouragement and will still stop at the shops on their way home creating potential exposure sites or stop and talk to friends who then go positive. I have said it multiple times I don't agree with the lockdowns, but lets be realistic about the gen pops ability to just do the right thing. Australia has achieved zero covid multiple times before a hotel breach has spread it again. Our government screwed the vaccine rollout, vote them out next term or call for a general election. Don't walk through the streets assaulting people to protest.
Is it harassment when you are too stupid to have a quiet meet up somewhere with people in private? Why go somewhere you can be seen or make heaps of noise? What used to be a simple noise complaint is now a covid breach. Neighbours will call it through just to get the noise to stop.
Say your name, an address and refuse to say anymore. It's all you need to do. Don't assault, spit or swear at the police. Their job is to speak to people doing the wrong thing. they are living in the same restrictions. Have your protest in court in front of the magistrate, it's not difficult.
