Criminal Mischief? Man Arrested for Removing Plate Cover on Secret Service SUV Protecting Kamala Harris’s Step-Daughter Ella Emhoff
Streets Blog NYC ^ | 11:04 AM EDT on July 31, 2024 | David Meyer

The NYPD arrested a Tribeca man and charged him with "criminal mischief" (as well as obstruction of government administration) after he allegedly tampered with a covered license plate affixed to (insert "Law and Order" theme music here) a Secret Service vehicle.

According to the NYPD, Harry Heymann, 45, approached the unmarked federal vehicle at around 12:40 p.m. on Tuesday on Hudson Street near N. Moore Street and "caused damage" to the rear of the vehicle.

Police did not provide additional details, but a friend of Heymann told Streetsblog that the suspect had attempted to remove an illegal license plate cover — the type used by many law enforcement officials on their private cars to avoid speed- and red-light cameras and tolls.

That effort by cops, firefighters, court officers and even federal law enforcement officers has been extensively documented by Streetsblog's Gersh Kuntzman in his "criminal mischief" campaign, which began after lawyer Adam White was arrested in 2022 under almost exactly the same circumstances as Heymann. Charges against White were eventually dropped.

In Heymann's case, however, the Secret Service officers were protecting Vice President Kamala Harris's step-daughter Ella Emhoff, TMZ reported.

MSNPC is apocalyptic over this entirely non-story of a story. In case it makes the rounds, here's what actually happened. The guy probably had no idea it was LE. At the very worst, he was lifting a special license plate that may have street value evading red light cameras. (To me, /that/ is the real story. I had no idea such things existed.)

He wasn’t even taking the plate. He was removing an illegal license plate cover that prevents toll cameras, speed cameras etc from properly recording the plate number.

Most likely his unnamed friend is Seymour Butts.

License plate covers are not illegal in some states.

Either way, it is one thing to note the attempt to cover or modify a license plate number, it is another thing entirely to touch the car, even just the license plate. He's luck someone hasn't put him in the hospital or worse for vandalizing their car, because that is what this is. Vigilentee vandalism.

Agreed. The guy protests against license plate covers used illegally (?). Mr. Emhoff’s daughter was not in any danger.

The SS seems more concerned about their SUVs than they were about the unguarded roof and the suspicious man with the rangefinder at the Trump rally.

And their acquaintance, Emerson Bigguns.

Only the self-appointed elites get real protection and for them laws are strictly enforced.

If it weren’t for the fact of who she was, the guy would have been left alone.

How come GOP POTUSes or Vice-Presidents have good-looking daughters, but DemocRat POTUSes or Vice-Presidents have homely daughters and step-daughters?

“Laws are for peasants”

And we are all peasants to all the government bodies of these United States.

It’s a good thing this guy wasn’t carrying a ladder, a backpack and an M-15… if he had been, the SS may not have even SEEN him cause this… MAYHEM!…

Who knew? Reminiscent of the old claim “Only law enforcement should have guns.”

Harris' step- daughter apparently gets 'A' team SS protection. Meanwhile, Trump gets, what? DEI? Figures.
