Re:Is this allowed in the US? (Score 1)

I am originally from Florida. I was in Ft. Lauderdale when Hurricane Andrew hit, and there was looting there as well. My take on mandatory evacuation is this...If everyone was made to evacuate then there would be nobody left behind to do the looting. After the storm, when the looting usually occurs, anyone in the area without permission should be arrested. This would have made me a little more secure in evacuating.
