Word is that it is a popular charge used by the APD. I know of one example where the LEO straight fabricated the charge. Hopefully, abuse of such regulations are rare.gigag04 wrote:The worst time I got spit on it was a loogie right on the eyeball from a guy handcuffed (so I couldn't really fight with him).
Debate the charges all you want but he went for everything we had, including jaywalking, and walking with traffic, in addition to all the more serious charges.
For those asking about yelling, not a felony here. The harassment statute gets used a lot from inmates throwing feces at jailers.

Re: Soon to be - Felony if You Annoy the Police in NY
I agree. The spit could have some very negative consequences. So, why is it only a felony if done to a public official, like a LEO, judge, or politician, and not a felony if done to a store clerk, of other citizen? I'll go back to my original comment. No group deserves special rights beyond that of the citizenry. Either we are protected equally, or we are subjects.texanjoker wrote:Go have some suspect spit in your face and then come back and post about your experience. It is one of the most disgusting things I have had to deal with, on more then one occasion.

How do they define harassment?gigag04 wrote:Harassment of a public servant in tx is a felony 3.
Example would be spitting on a police officer.
NY also passed an additional law to their gun ban to exempt law enforcement and retired law enforcement from its ridiculous restrictions. Hopefully, the LEO community sees through that pandering and upholds their oath. I know that the state AG said he would not prosecute any violators of Cuomo's new ban that would have not been violating law prior to the ban. Kudos to him.

Re: Soon to be - Felony if You Annoy the Police in NY
Two things.
1. No group should have a special set of rights over that of other citizens. As such, this disgusts me. By the way, aren't LEOs servants of the citizens, and if so, why are the citizens treated like subjects?
2. I cannot imagine this wouldn't be struck down as unconstitutional. I will guess the legislature passed this to simply appear like they are tough on crime/support law enforcement/suck up to the police union for reelection support.
