NY bill would ban cops from routine traffic stops like the one that nabbed a serial killer: ‘Most dangerous’ ever

A controversial new bill in New York State is causing a stir among law enforcement officials and advocates alike. The proposed legislation would ban police officers from stopping and searching drivers over a variety of low-level violations, including issues like busted lights, expired registrations, and even the smell of marijuana.

Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly has spoken out against the bill, calling it “ridiculous” and warning that it would severely limit law enforcement’s ability to conduct routine traffic stops that can uncover more serious crimes. Donnelly highlighted the case of serial killer Joel Rifkin, who was apprehended during a routine traffic stop in 1993. Rifkin had murdered at least 17 people in the area before being caught due to a missing license plate on his vehicle.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to promote racial equity and reduce unnecessary police encounters, especially in Nassau County, where there are allegations of racial bias in traffic stops. Data shows that black and Latino residents are disproportionately targeted for traffic stops and arrests in the county.

However, opponents of the bill, including Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, argue that it would make the roads less safe by hindering law enforcement’s ability to address low-level infractions. They point out that most stops result in warnings, and taking away the power to enforce these laws would benefit criminals, not law-abiding citizens.

The bill’s sponsor, State Sen. Brady Hoylman-Sigal, has not responded to requests for comment, and Governor Kathy Hochul’s office has also remained silent on the issue. The debate over the proposed legislation continues to divide opinions on how best to balance public safety and civil liberties in New York State.
