New York Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato, a Democrat from Queens, recently introduced a bill that aims to make it a felony to deliberately block traffic in the state.
The assemblywoman's bill aims to change state law to make such stunts a "domestic act of terrorism" and make it a Class D felony to intentionally block public roads, bridges, transportation facilities or tunnels in New York, according to a copy of the legislation. The measure is co-sponsored by Assemblyman Sam Berger, who is also a Democrat from Queens.
Apparently, protesting is no longer a "freedom of expression". Interesting how things change under their watch.
NYC protesters blocking traffic could be charged with 'domestic terrorism'
