There was an officer (didn't notice which jurisdiction he was from) in Highsmith's yesterday and I overheard someone asking him if they were actively stopping people for being out under the "stay at home" orders. The officer replied that no, unless you're doing some kind of crazy obviously illegal stuff (that you'd get pulled over for without the order in place) they are not stopping people to see if their travel is "essential".
Although there are some exceptions I've found that most police officers are generally good guys. I can't imagine them wanting to pull people over for driving. Shoot there are so many exceptions to Holcomb's order (A-X with multiple in each letter) what isn't essential? Landscaping is essential for crying out loud.
