What is the legal limit for the length of a knife that you can possess let's say in your car. I searched for New York State but most of the information was based on New York City. You can't carry a freaking tooth pick a New York City legally

New York State Penal Law section 265 will give you headaches:

Heh, heh, heh...he said PENAL.....

Yeah, even the information I found a New York City was confusing.

There's no length limit outside of NYC and western cities.

[QUOTE=Sedan_Clan;27838793]I just saw something interesting mahalom3. One of your department's Explorers was executing a traffic stop and had lights along the running board that corresponded with the other emergency lights. Friggin' cool!!!! Is that only on your 2020's/2021's? I wish our Explorers had that.[/QUOTE

You can have a knife in your car. On your person is where there are limitations as to how a knife is carried.

Probably the funniest scene in the movie

Buug959 · 07-28-2021, 07:53 PM

This one is directed more toward the Canadian LEO's. Paging Murf993 I heard a story today from a guy at work. He said he was stopped legally on the side of the road in his company van (all decaled up with the business name and number) to deal with some texts from the office. He was parked into the sun and was shielding his eyes from the glare so he could see his phone. A cop drove past him from the other direction, turned around and stopped behind him and then turned on his red and blues. The cop came up to the van and asked the guy for his ID. When asked what he was doing wrong the cop said it was because he hid his face as the cop drove by. The guy explained that he was simply shielding his eyes from the sun so he could see his phone. The cop insisted on running the guys ID " because you might be wanted for something". My question is: Was this cop allowed to do this, was he pushing the limits of what's legal or was he just wrong?

Syracuse – § 16-12, Prohibits carry of among other things any dirk, bowie knife, sword, razor or “any weapon, instrument or thing likely to produce grievous bodily harm.” (It is also unlawful to fling or throw any snowball with the city limits of Syracuse, NY, a city with an average annual snowfall of 123.8 inches per year). (See § 16-13).

Is Syracuse University in the city limits? IIRC, they are famous for hosting a huge campus-wide snowball fight every year.....

I grew up in Ferguson MO. My first interaction with the police was me being so stupid as the throw a snowball at a police car. Mind you I didn't know it was a cop car I didn't bother to look just the first car that came by as a moronic 7 year old.

Cop gets out and starts messing with his cuffs telling me someone could get hurt or drive off the road and all the time I'm astaring at those cuffs (which I doubt would have stayed on my skinny 7 year old arms anyway).

He let me off with a warning.
