The answer is yes according to a Druge Report Article, ckeck it out. It must have been in the fine print in one of those Constitutional legal bills that no one read!!!!!

What many Americans don’t realize, is that census workers — from the head of the Bureau and the Secretary of Commerce (its parent agency) down to the lowliest and newest Census employee — are empowered under federal law to actually demand access to any apartment or any other type of home or room that is rented out, in order to count persons in the abode and for “the collection of statistics.” If the landlord of such apartment or other leased premises refuses to grant the government worker access to your living quarters, whether you are present or not, the landlord can be fined $500.00.

I can go with that. Now the question is. How are they going to get back out?

Not sure about this - appears to be an oversimplification of the details, and the devils in them details!

This is a pretty liberal reading of the code! The relevant language is at Title 13, Chapter 7, Subchapter II, § 223 of the US Code. The section prevents the owner or manger of “any hotel, apartment house, boarding or lodging house, tenement, or other building” from refusing to provide a list of the buildings occupants or providing access to “such premises”. This means a building’s owner or manger cannot refuse to let a census worker into or out of the building and cannot refuse to provide a list of occupants for the purpose of the census count. The penalty for refusal is $500. No where in the section does it authorize entry into individual apartments, lodgings, or “living quarters”.

The relevant code section is found at: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode13/usc_sec_13_00000223—-000-.html

If a census taker comes into my house while I am asleep and I wake up. I will plead fear for my life over his dead body. They already have my form and have no reason to be near my residence.

Realistically, this law gives the Census Drones access to the inside of the BUILDING, to knock on folks doors - NOT to enter their abodes.
If the landlord gave the drones open access to MY home (back when I rented) me and him would be having a very intense "Come to Jesus Meeting", which he would NOT enjoy! :grumble:

I answered the door to the one that came by at 2200 a month or so ago with my beretta on my hip and didn't let her past to door. Suffice to say the follow on person decided to show up only when I wasn't there from that night on.

My local Census Drone finally came by, since I had only answered the first question. And that's all she got this time. She was cool withit - even said "That is your right." Then she toddled off to the next home - probably asking the neighbors about me........ :lol:
