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

A new bill would ban cops in the state from stopping and searching drivers over a slew of low-level violations — including the one that ended up nabbing serial killer Joel Rifkin.

Top law-enforcement officials are calling the Albany proposal the “most dangerous” and “craziest” bill they have ever seen, warning it would limit cops’ ability to conduct routine traffic stops that can uncover much more serious crimes.

“It is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in my 36 years in law enforcement,” Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told reporters Friday outside of the county’s police memorial in Mineola, LI.
