despite what some may claim this isn't a police state, in fact the contrary. nyc's judiciary has always had a liberal, libertarian bent.
my money says the nypd gets their ass handed to them
As I understand it, this does not have to be any sort of ratification for this pass, except by the NYPD signing some papers. It will eventually get thrown out, but for this to happen, a big ****ing stink has to be made or numerous law suits which will eventually lead to the law being reversed, or at very least highly modified. Since this is the NYPD's code change, it doesn't bow to the same pressures that laws from the city go through. No elected officials involved in passing the law = they do what they please.
While I agree that eventually the NYPD will get their ass handed to them, its gonna be an ugly 6-9 months before it happens.
