Senate Passes Bill Making the Harassment of a Police Officer a Crime
New York State Senate ^
| 6 Jun 2013

The New York State Senate today passed a bill that creates the crime of aggravated harassment of a police or peace officer. The bill (S.2402), sponsored by Senator Joe Griffo (R-C-I, Rome) would make it a felony to harass, annoy, or threaten a police officer while on duty.
Our system of laws is established to protect the foundations of our society, Senator Griffo said. Police officers who risk their lives every day in our cities and on our highways deserve every possible protection, and those who treat them with disrespect, harass them and create situations that can lead to injuries deserve to pay a price for their actions.
The bill establishes this crime as a Class E Felony, punishable by up to four years in prison.

Whose definitions of harass and “annoy” is the Gestapo going to use? This looks like a real revenue raiser to me. Those politicians are smart.

If the cops now have the right not to be annoyed, who will be the next to be granted this right?

This is the back door to outlawing the filming of police activity. It’ll take one judge to rule that filming is interfering is annoying the police.

i still care if i know the cop ~ but otherwise there's less and less for anyone to be concerned about.
It is dangerous for the rest of us to make police work too comfortable for the thin skinned.

I suppose taking photos or videos of them is now considered to be annoying.

Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim when he defends himself as a criminal. - The Law; Frederic Bastiat

Anyone else sure that video tapping them will be considered harassment?
or that feeding the meter for someone else will be?
This law is ripe for abuse.

This will certainly give them an excuse to shoot dogs and cats—not that they seem to need one anyway.

Oh calm down people. There isn’t the slightest change that this law will be abused.

Just last week I annoyed a cop by telling him that he was being absurd for giving me a ticket for not wearing a seat belt.
