    It's pretty easy. Go before curfew. Pack your car and drive in whatever direction you want. If you try after curfew there's a really good chance you'll be arrested.

    Eaglescout,
    Welcome to the Forums. When you say "bugging out" does that mean you are never coming back to your current location? also Are you talking about travel during a real martial law declaration?

    First get your self an ambulance,...... out fit it with multi fuel capability, with on board gen set, rack it out, survival gear, water tank, extra fuel.
    Mark truck up as "Biohazard Quarantine transport unit".......get biohazard suits helmets, respirators, go where ever you want.
    $ 100,000 bucks should be a good start.

    Eagle unless you live in the deep dark ghetto, you may just consider prepping to bug in! That will most likely be the safest plan for most people!
    It greatly depends on where you live! Going out in during a martial law situation could be much more dangerous than just staying home and holding your ground!
    If you have a couple of guns and a good stash of ammo chances are you can hold your ground, and still be safer than out on the road running the gauntlet!

    Or put big stickers on it that say, Insurance Policies available here! Nobody wants to be around an insurance salesman!

    Martial law is enforced specifically to control the movement of the population.

    You will do exactly as you are told during the enforcement of martial law, which usually includes road blocks, vehicle searches and the requirement for travel papers giving permission to move from place to place.

    martial law also eliminates the need for warrants, probable cause is "good enough" for detainment, trials are in military court and there is very little in the way of appeals system.

    If you are going to "bug out" it best be done before ML is announced.

    PS: They can also demand that everyone out of place go back their proper location and lots of other nasty and intrusive control methods.

    Since I already live on my BOL, and I am certain you do not own one, please stay the he!! away from my place, I have not worked on it for 6 years just for you to show up unannounced, on the run, and without proper travel documents.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    The best way to accomplish movement during martial law is know what is acceptable and what is not during martial law. Do everything you can to not get caught and fully give the appearance that you are doing what is acceptable.

    Everything KyRat said is spot on. Although I personally do not see the Constitutionality of it and think it is wrong beyond wrong.

    Our Illustrious Masters could not possibly care less about the Constitution. They are about unlimited and unstoppable power.

    It has been the same because of Human Nature throughout Mankind's history. The only thing that has changed is technology.

    The easiest way is to not live in Dodge in the first place. Other than that, leave before curfew.

    haha.

    Why is martial law being declared anyway in this scenario? Should I want to be running around away from home at this hypothetical juncture? Quite possibly; most likely not.

    What Would Vlad Do

    Talking about sending troops into the most conservative areas of the nation to remind folks who is boss might be considered a political discussion.

    Yeah, and how well do you think that move will go over? Here, Vlad might do that one day, counter measures will follow the next.

    Eveything you said there is a lie, but you could have just been sarcastic. it's hard to tell when you're not face to face.
