Seems like Agudah is indeed opening up in NH.

They need the money that all the Jewish people donate to Cuomo year after year and they continue to do even after rent control. But at this point all the politicians know that no matter what they do the money will still pour in, so they aren’t really worried about alienating anyone.
Seems to be pure politics at this point.

They're protesting for parks, not for camps.

I love it.
They can do that but not go to parks. It sends a great message of how messed up this is.
I'm not who you think I am.

That depends which heimishe twitter account you check.

That there are so many not wearing helmets does not help the cause.

Let's be honest, why wouldn't chassidishe camps open? Their schools have been open for close to 2 months despite the EO.

Because the local PD isn't enforcing the EO. With the problems that the Frum camps face every regular summer - you can only imagine how quickly the authorities will be called upstate.

Without a warrant, they'd have a very difficult time finding evidence that it's a sleepaway camp and not day camp.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

How difficult?

Wait outside on day 1 when a bunch of full busses roll in the front gate (don’t need a warrant to stop and enter the busses right outside), then don’t see the busses leave that night (or leave but are all empty).

So they need to stake it out and know when to expect buses, as well as keep watch of all the exits all day long to see if cars leave. They also need to track all the cars that go in and out and try to count kids. Most camps also have a day camp on campus, so there will be kids leaving in the evening, again they would need to be counting kids.

Basically, if the FBI wanted to get evidence they can, but regular cops would have a very difficult time finding evidence.

What about all those huge duffel bags?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

They come in on a truck and unload out of view of the road. I'm not saying it's impossible, but they'd have very difficult time staking out hundreds of camps that could potentially be open and they don't know which day they're opening.

I 100% hear what you're saying, but if I was a camp director I still wouldn't want to risk it.

-1 not sure which camp you went to. But most summers, camps have the local PD show up for loud noise at night, cars parked on the road etc... If the governor clearly states that sleep away camps can't open. You dont need the FBI, you have neighbors that will gladly call and report you. Most of them dont want you there on a regular year.

Wouldn't there be dozens (or hundreds) of delivery trucks, repairmen, etc over the summer who would all enter camp and see exactly what's going on? And not to mention neighbors and people from the surrounding towns being on high alert- they'll know in a second.

It'll be all over social media in no time, in the press shortly thereafter (news-hungry reporters at the camp entrance eager for a juicy story), and on a desk in whatever police dept enforces this stuff not too long after. And then can't the police just get a warrant?

I think it's highly unlikely (practically impossible) that any camp can stay under the radar for more than a few days with hundreds of kids.

All of this can easily be excused as day camp. I heard camps are planning on having full days including night activities Sunday-Friday.

Depending on the neighbors, it can be very risky
