This column will discuss new criminal justice legislation signed into law by Governor David Paterson that contains amendments to the Penal Law, Criminal Procedure Law, Vehicle and Traffic Law and other related statutes. It is recommended that the reader review the legislation for specific details as the following discussion will highlight key provisions of the new laws.
In the past legislative session, three new laws attracted significant publicity. First, the governor signed a bill that prohibits the New York City Police Department (and any police department in a city with a population of 1 million or more) from electronically storing the names and addresses of individuals stopped on the street but found to have done nothing wrong (L.2010, Ch. 176, eff. July 16, 2010).
