He said by law you need to fill this out. I said where is the law saying that. He ask me if I refused. I said yes and he said good by then.
I wouldn't have said "I refuse".

13 USC Sec. 221
(a) Whoever, being over eighteen years of age, refuses or
willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any
other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce
or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instructions of the
Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his
knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in
connection with any census or survey provided for by subchapters I,
II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title, applying to himself or to
the family to which he belongs or is related, or to the farm or
farms of which he or his family is the occupant, shall be fined not
more than $100.
Not sure if anyone's ever actually been fined before, but I would have went with "No sir, I'm not refusing. Goodbye!".
Like when a cop pulls someone over and asks "Do you know why I pulled you over?" to get the person on record confessing. |
