As long as they stay in New York they are safe from me, but as soon as they cross the border, watch out!
State and Federal appeals courts will have a field day with this one.
Will filming them be “annoying”?
The law says you have to have physical contact with the officer......don’t touch the officer...no problems....this is all due to people trying to be youtube sensations and behaving outrageously to provoke an officer into responding to behavior which causes them to be alarmed for their safety.
No kidding.
Not only is the headline wrong, but the first sentence is wrong.
No bill has been signed into law as far as I can tell. So, it’s not illegal ‘yet’ to annoy a cop, although I can guess it will be.
Another reason not to visit NY. I might annoy an officer and be beaten beyond recognition.
Time for the SILENT TREATMENT
It appears that Republican State Senator Joseph Griffo thinks that everybody in New York State is a criminal that their Jailers... err, That their Police Officers need protection from!!
It would appear that the film “Escape From New York” is more dark prophesy than entertainment!!
Gee, for that you used to just get a beating, now they can arrest you, too?
Why would someone want to annoy a NY police officer? Who is wanting it to be legal to do this?
Suggestion for Freepers in NY: Push a liberal into a cop.
An authoritarian Republican clown. How quaint.
Both parties have profoundly betrayed us...
this will used to disarm people in new york. it’s a felony. there’s your 2a rights gone.
As a former street punk and youth sub culture aficionado, I find it entertaining to watch the hard right slowly evolve into an extreme wariness of law enforcement due to their now being on the receiving end of various forms of “police brutality”, previously experienced in the main by lefties and radicals. These are interesting times.
Kinda fun also to watch conservatives becoming aware of the “conspiracy” end of the political spectrum. Simply amazing what being the UNDERDOG can do for a philosophical outlook. Time for left and right to shake hands on these issues and get some cross talk going on. I’d like to see a meetup between Sarah Palin and Matt Taibibi. I knew a lot of aging punkers in Oregon, when I lived in Bandon a few years back, who hung out and went shooting with the Oregon Militia, preppers before it was a fad with a reality show on prime time. we got along fine around the campfire and learned from each other. Forthright, aware and courageous people of any stripe have more in common than any “ideology” would want to dictate.
Nobody has an exclusive patent on being misguided or subject to peer influence.
