What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Penal Law to expand the section setting a penalty for possession of vehicle break-in tools, so that it also includes devices that make it possible to bypass the vehicle's original ignition mechanism without the owner's permission. The proposal also amends the Wireless Telegraphy Ordinance to impose a penalty of up to three years' imprisonment for possession or intentional operation of a device used to jam frequencies or disrupt wireless systems of security forces, law enforcement, rescue and firefighting, or stolen-property tracking services.
