They are upon us. Yesterday, thousands of Census workers hit the streets across the country, but don't worry, they won't be turning you in to the feds. Counters face five years in jail and a $250,000 fine if they reveal any of your private information to anyone. "They are really protective of the personal information that is given," one worker told the Daily News. Though workers have been trained on how to deal with aggressive dogs and uncooperative residents, New Yorkers have actually been pretty receptive—at least, those who opened their doors were. The counters will be out and about until July.
