Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to requiring police officers and peace officers to issue appearance tickets to individuals charged with certain offenses instead of arresting such individuals
AI Summary
This bill requires police officers and peace officers to issue appearance tickets to individuals charged with certain offenses, such as petty offenses, offenses in the New York City Health Code, and other minor violations, instead of arresting them, unless certain conditions apply. These conditions include the officer being unable to ascertain the person's identity, the officer having reasonable cause to believe the person has committed an additional crime, or the person presenting an immediate threat of bodily injury. The bill aims to reduce arrests for these types of offenses and provide a more efficient process of issuing appearance tickets or notices of violation.
