Apr the Bartlett commission which wrote the states new penal Law stepped Forward today with a proposal to revise the Law to give police and private citizens More authority to shoot at criminal suspects. At the commissions request Bills were introduced in both houses of the legislature to lift some of the restrictions on use of a deadly Force by policemen or citizens against a suspected criminals. At the same time the measure would impose the so called a no socks ban on use of physical Force by private citizens attempting to resist what they re Gard an unlawful arrest. This measure was included in the penal Law Bill of 1965 but was later deleted by amendment. The legislation advanced today was drawn by the temporary state commission on revision of the penal Law and criminal code headed by Richard j. Bartlett of Glens Falls a former assemblyman who now is chairman of the state crime control Council. Among its chief provisions for change the commission Bill would permit a policeman to use deadly Force in making an arrest for felonies involving the use of any Force. This differs from the present Laws authorization to use deadly Force Only when the person to be arrested is believed by the policeman to have committed a felony involving deadly Force. The new penal Law which went into effect sept. I changed the old Standard that legally permitted policemen to fire at any fleeing Felon. The new Law now permits a policeman or a citizen helping him to use a deadly physical Force Only if he believes the suspected criminal has used or threatened to use deadly Force in committing a crime or is prepared to do so in resisting arrest. This has prompted Many policemen to complain that their capacity to apprehend criminals is restricted and that they Are More vulnerable to attack. At a news conference Bartlett said a a we be gone part Way Back to the a fleeing felony Rule. But we have not gone Back to the extent that we include simple among the other key changes Are ones that would a authorize a private citizen to use deadly Force where he is a in fear of physical Force from a burglar. The present Law requires that we have a reasonable belief that the burglar is about to employ Force upon him. A permit a citizen to use deadly Force against burglars on a any occupied the present Law limits such a right to Homes. Bartlett said that the Extension would apply to stores or offices. A extend a police officers right to use deadly Force where a person is resisting or escape. Ing an arrest and a is armed a the Law now limits such police use to situations in which the person is using a weapon in escape.
