Strictly speaking, chokeholds are illegal only when there is proof of intent to obstruct breathing or blood circulation but without inflicting serious injury. That's a high bar to hurdle. A bill introduced by City Council Member Rory Lancman explicitly designates chokeholds as a misdemeanor in New York City. Lancman's bill doesn't require the proof of intent, rather, it flat-out prohibits the use of chokeholds.Lancman also introduced a bill that would lower New York City's legal standard for assault charges, reducing it from criminal intent to criminal negligence, which will allow district attorneys to bring assault charges against individuals who use chokeholds. |
