If you rough up a cop you now get a hate crime charge attached. lol. These fuckin whiners. They need to be protected from hate crimes? WTF. And what does it say about the public opinion of police that this legislation was even thought of.
Additionally, the senate also passed several other bills aimed at safeguarding New York’s law enforcement community, including:
S.1984, which strengthens existing penalties by creating a new crime when a terrorist threat is made against a police officer. Police officers are frequent targets of these threats, and in order to adequately deter that activity, a heightened punishment for making a terroristic threat against a police officer is necessary;
S.2125, which prohibits civilian drone use within 1,000 feet of a correctional facility. The civilian use of unmanned aerial systems, or drones, has increased exponentially in recent years. Though many are used for innocuous reasons, in August 2015, a drone dropped a package containing tobacco, marijuana, and heroin into the Mansfield Correctional Institution in Ohio. By restricting drone use in the immediate vicinity of a correctional facility, this bill would help promote a safer prison environment;
S.1747, which helps protect retired police officers from retaliation by individuals who had been arrested by the officers when they were still on active duty. The bill makes the law consistent with the stronger criminal penalties currently in place to prevent the assault of active duty law enforcement by specifically including retired officers;
S.6898B, which expands line of duty sick leave to include every public officer or employee who, on the job, engaged in World Trade Center rescue, recovery, or cleanup activities. The expansion acknowledges that every public employee deserves benefits related to any qualifying World Trade Center illness or condition as a result of putting their lives on the line to help in any way they could following the tragic events of 9/11.
