They had a way in offical apps to report people for not masking or for standing too close to each other. In Massachusetts you could dial 211 and turn in your neighbor: https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2020/10/06/massachuse...

You can report anything.

The only case they cite of an actual intervention resulting seems... entirely legit?

> An adult entertainment club lost its liquor license after a dancer and others were seen not wearing masks, the state said.

People call 911 for goofy things, too.

Did they break down your door or shoot your SO in the head for not wearing a mask?

Isn't that state based?

Also I'd say the federal government's approach to ICE deportations is a little stronger than even the COVID measures.
