Mandates are NOT law.
LEOs enforcing mandates violate their sworn oath to uphold/defend the Constitution.
They say that ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Of course, They prey upon the people's ignorance of the law.
"A law repugnant to the Constitution is void. An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution cannot become a law. The Constitution supersedes all other laws and the individuals rights shall be liberally enforced in favor of him, the clearly intended and expressly designated beneficiary." Marbury vs. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (SCOTUS 1803)
"An unconstitutional law is void and is as no law. An offense created by it is not crime. A conviction under it is not merely erroneous but is illegal and void and cannot be used as a legal cause of imprisonment." Ex parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371 (SCOTUS 1879)
"An unconstitutional act is not law. It confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office. It is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed. Norton vs. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (SCOTUS 1886)
