The officers would simply remind the occupants that RI had an executive order in place, requiring anyone from out-of-state coming into RI for non-work reasons that 14-day quarantine was mandatory.  So the border wasn't really closed, but many people saw it as overreach and some invoked the Fourth Amendment.  This occurred immediately after the permanent residents of the beachfront communities (RI has something like 400 miles of coastline) started to notice the New Yorkers occupying their summer homes in March.  And then there's the golfer story.  Three men from MA crossed the RI border to play golf.  That's a non-work reason.  They met a RI resident friend at a McDonald's, left the car with MA plates there, and went to the golf course with the friend and his RI plates.  For some reason (I still wonder about this) the McD's employees called the police, and when they returned, they were arrested and charged with a misdemeanor.  Fourth Amendment?
