They will also be given flyers in advance to distribute to their friends in the attempt to raise their “bail” in advance ().

Individuals that may not be able to leave their place of business or residence but would still like to participate will be given the opportunity to “bribe” the officer who comes to “arrest” them in order to not go to jail.
