Louisville, KY orders residents to wear ankle monitors.

A judge in Kentucky is ordering people who refuse to stay at home after coming in contact with coronavirus patients to wear ankle monitors.
The severe measures are being taken in Jefferson County, which is home to Louisville, according to CNN affiliate WDRB.
In one instance, a person identified as D.L., a resident of Louisville, was living with "someone who has tested positive for the illness and another person who is a presumptive case," according to an affidavit. D.L. was ordered to isolate but “leaves the house often,” family members said.
Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Angela Bisig ordered the Department of Corrections to fit D.L. with an ankle monitor.
There are at least three other cases of people in Louisville breaking self-isolation orders in the area who were subsequently fit for ankle monitors.
States have cracked down on self-isolation recently, including in New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on the New York Police Department to be “more aggressive” and in Pennsylvania, where a woman was pulled over and fined for taking a leisurely drive alone.

I believe New York just raised their fines to $1000

Seems like a major violation of the law.

Well, that is a little unconstitutional

What's the fine for cutting off your ankle monitor?

the next one of these frickers who refers to the President as "literally Hitler" needs to be reminded of who is requiring people to "show their papers." Out here Mayor Garcetti is asking people to report those who aren't following the stay-at-home orders.
I can't wait to get out of this fricking cesspool.

Same thing in Memphis. On the news every night... call blah blah blah if you know of anyone or any business you feel is violating the safer at home order.

This is an appropriate usage of a quarantine. He’s been exposed and we know it. He has to sit his arse at home for the duration of the quarantine. This is in contrast to population-wide, stay-at-home orders.

I don't necessarily see anything Unconstitutional about it, generally speaking, however, it does appear that the person is not being treated the same as the medical staffs that are exposed to it. To me these orders would probably be ruled unconstitutional (or enforced unconstitutionally) on those grounds, meaning not being uniform and singling particular people out.
Furthermore, if the person never had an opportunity to contest the administrative order that should be attacking first as how can the court review an order which has not been adjudicated?
The problem is... these aren't quarantines. As far as I am concern, if someone wants to quarantine me... they need to take me to a State facility and start footing the bill.

self-isolation orders
If people are being arrested then the article should say government mandated isolation.

Rhymes with "hunconstitutional", I would think.

I have no idea where my phone is, fully 60% of the time.
Now, I don't go anywhere, so I'm easy to track, anyway, but still.

Quarantines in themselves are generally not unconstitutional, although they could potential be depending on the details.
The problem I could see there is they are not enforcing the policies uniform. If they were using this to protect the public, than there is leeway to put people in quarantine. The issue here to me is if that is the case, all the hospitals and their medical staff would be in strict quarantine, and not allowed to leave the hospital. The problem I see is potentially no due process to challenge the underlying administrative order or lack of one, but that is something they need to attack via civil process.
Of course, I probably wouldn't be giving government officials too much information to where I would be put in quarantine anyway.
I'm not sure what "self-quarantine" is, either someone has issued a quarantine order or they haven't... they should be giving you a place to stay and food as well.
