Seminole County's tax collector believes some of the orders put in place to stop the spread of coronavirus infringe on civil liberties.Joel Greenberg wrote on social media, suggesting the possibility of disobeying orders. "We need to open the (expletive) economy. Burning down the house in order to save it is not working and total (expletive). Enough already," his post read. "Perhaps, it's time to disobey the orders and stand up to our civil liberties being (expletive) on."WESH 2 asked Greenberg about his comments today and he clarified he does not intend to incite a riot against stay at home orders, or violence. "I believe people have a right to live their life in the way they deem fit as long as they're not causing harm to themself or anybody else," Greenberg said. "If you take the density of Seminole County, we're one of the densest counties but we're one of the smallest per capital, or land-wise, so you know, those numbers are rather OK, I would say," he said. Greenberg said he believes people need to get back to work sooner rather than later, and says he stands by the opinion he shared on social media. "If enough people do it, you can only enforce so much, I want people to be responsible. I want people to follow the law. I'm not sure what's being suggested or enforced in certain areas of this state, more specifically Central Florida are constitutional enforcement," Greenberg said. Greenberg went on to say, he believes the state should be opened by May. Seminole County government officials did not have a comment to make regarding the post Wednesday. A Seminole County Sheriff's Office spokesperson said, "Our primary focus is the health and well-being of our community and agency members."Seminole County is tracking at least 282 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and officials have reported two COVID-19 deaths in the county.
