Can the police stop cars with young kids in the front seat to tell them that it is not safe even though in NYS it is not illegal? This is a major problem where I live. Kids as young as 6 commonly sit in the front seat.

No. A police officer may not forcibly detain someone without reasonable suspicion of an illegal act.

Your example would be akin to police officers stopping someone because they had a Big Mac and you believe fast food isn't healthy. Police officers have enough to do just enforcing criminal laws. They should not play nanny too.

Hello Bluesheepdog,
My question is: if I see children in a vehicle at the parking lot, is that something I can report on the emergency line? I don't agree with it, but uncertain if it is a cause the police is concerned about.

Asked by Irene Judith Hernandez about 11 years ago

If children are in danger, please call the emergency line.

Hello, I was wondering about the illegal weapons in NY? Is a Sai illegal in New York State?

Asked by Collin over 11 years ago

I don't know. I'd guess yes for the city of NY, and probably for the rest of the state. NY dislikes armed citizens who can defend themselves.
