Nailed it.
Except the DA's office can legally put one on witnesses, its done all the time.Stephanie (CLASS A MISDEMEANOR for first offense and Future CLASS E FELON for subsequent offense) Clifford (Aka Stormy Daniels) wears an illegal bulletproof vest to court. Governor Hochul and the NY legislature threw a temper tantrum and rammed through the CCIA ("Concealed Carry Improvement Act") in reaction to the US Supreme courts NYSRPA V. Bruen Decision in 2022. Laws have consequences. Under the CCIA law, it is illegal for her to knowingly take possession of body armor in NY (the trial is in Manhattan, NY) per New York State Penal Law Section 270.21: § 270.21 Unlawful purchase of body armor.
A person is guilty of the unlawful purchase of body armor when, not being engaged or employed in an eligible profession, they knowingly purchase or take possession of body armor, as such term is defined in subdivision two of section 270.20 of this article. This section shall not apply to individuals or entities engaged or employed in eligible professions, which shall include police officers as defined in section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law, peace officers as defined in section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law, persons in military service in the state of New York or military or other service for the United States, and such other professions designated by the department of state (note: that the NY Dept. of State list posted on the state website does not include attorneys or trial participants) in accordance with section one hundred forty-four-a of the executive law. Unlawful purchase of body armor is a class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a class E felony for any subsequent offense.
Stormy Daniels Wore a Bulletproof Vest to Court in New York - But Made Sure It Didn't Cover Her Cleavage for the Cameras | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft
According to her lawyer, Stormy Daniels wore a bulletproof vest to court over fears of what “some nut” might do.www.thegatewaypundit.com
If by "legally" you mean no one will sue them (no DA will take up the case), that's fine, but that is not the definition of legal. If it's illegal under the law and there is no exemption for it in the law ("it's done all the time" is not an exemption in the law), then it's illegal. If the powers that be do what they want illegally without consequences, what else is new. Leticia James likes to threaten businesses out of state to not sell legal products in the NYS under color of law (illegal) and the PO-PO likes to disobey traffic laws all day long when not responding to an emergency or engaged in pursuit, etc. All that illustrates is the 2 tiered system we have in practice where those in power are scofflaws and We The Peons are held accountable.Except the DA's office can legally put one on witnesses, its done all the time.
The DA's office is a LE agency and would be considered an "eligible profession". And that is why they do it all the timeA person is guilty of the unlawful purchase of body armor when, not being engaged or employed in an eligible profession,
Yes, Election interference.
Mollie doesn't understand its all for our own good don't ya know.
"It's done all the time" != "it's legal".Except the DA's office can legally put one on witnesses, its done all the time.
No, its not legal because its done all the time, its done all the time because its legal. As I said earlier:"It's done all the time" != "it's legal".
The DA's office is a LE agency and would be considered an "eligible profession". And that is why they do it all the time
What is the document?"Why are you hiding this document, Judge Merchan? I’m going to put it on the Internet today!"
So selling cocaine is legal because it's done all the time ?No, its not legal because its done all the time, its done all the time because its legal. As I said earlier:
WTF you talkin bout Willis? Cocaine is illegal, period, no matter how many times it is "done". It is not illegal for LE agencies to possess, buy or use body armor. The DA's office is a LE agency, it is not illegal for them to use it.So selling cocaine is legal because it's done all the time ?
It's done all the time despite being illegal because the people who are tasked with enforcing that law are the same people who are violating it.
Nobody is suggesting the DA's office be prosecuted.WTF you talkin bout Willis? Cocaine is illegal, period, no matter how many times it is "done". It is not illegal for LE agencies to possess, buy or use body armor. The DA's office is a LE agency, it is not illegal for them to use it.
That is perhaps the dumbest statement I've seen around here.The police possess cocaine all the time too.
Would it be legal for them to sell it ?
NY has decided to prohibit commoners from possessing both cocaine and body armor, and many guns, etc...How in the fuck are you comparing cocaine to body armor?
That is perhaps the dumbest statement I've seen around here.
Yes, Election interference.
Ok, I see you think everything should be legal and we should have no laws. You want legal cocaine etc? Go to Portland and Seattle, frisco , they decriminalized hard drugs. Didnt work out too well for them.If you are blinded by your personal bias about which of these should be prohibited, you really need to think about why mere possession of anything should be prohibited.
