GOVERNOR PATAKI SIGNS NEW BULLET PROOF VEST LAW

Cites Criminals' Readiness and Willingness to Commit Violence With a Deadly Weapon

Governor George E. Pataki today announced he has signed legislation to amend the State Penal Law to prohibit the wearing of a bullet proof vest during the commission of a violent crime while possessing a rifle or a shotgun.

"We need clear and aggressive laws to deal with those who would commit criminal acts of violence with any type of gun," Governor Pataki said. "When a criminal is wearing a bullet proof vest it reduces the chances they will surrender to law enforcement authorities without a fight. This new law closes a loophole that allowed criminals who use a shotgun or a rifle to be punished less severely then those who carry another type of firearm."

The new law adds rifles and shotguns to the existing statute that prohibits wearing a body vest while committing a violent felony while possessing a firearm.

Existing law prohibits the wearing of a bullet proof vest while committing a violent crime if the offender possesses a firearm. A firearm is generally defined in the Penal Law as a pistol or revolver or a "sawed-off" rifle or shotgun. Therefore, a person could not be charged under past statute if, instead of possessing a firearm, he or she possessed a standard rifle or shotgun.

By enacting the existing law in 1984, the Legislature recognized the heightened seriousness and increased danger present when a criminal commits an armed violent felony while cloaked in a protective vest. The danger is no less when the criminal has chosen a rifle or shotgun as the weapon, instead of a firearm.

Under existing law, a defendant who wears a vest while committing a violent felony may only be charged with the additional crime of "Unlawful Wearing of a Body Vest" if possessing a firearm. As shotguns and rifles are not considered firearms under the Penal Law, a person committing the same violent crime while possessing a rifle or shotgun could not be charged under this section. This amendment remedies the omission by extending the coverage of the present statute to include both rifles and shotguns.

This law becomes effective on November 1, 2001.
