How exactly do they know how far away you are from home?
Phone GPS I would guess, address on his ID card, since they have lots of police and military check points, or so the news showed.
That's right, there's checkpoints around, more at the state borders or outskirts of Melbourne as the country areas don't have such strict restrictions but there's a few around the city areas also the police can just check your license plate when you are driving and as it will show your address on your records they will know if you are too far from home.
This is all really unprecedented for us, I know it's necessary but it seems a bit heavy handed too. As always if the minority of fools had followed the more chilled rules to begin with we wouldn't have to worry about these hardcore rules now.
