Unfortunately for people who want to keep moving while on crowded sidewalks it’s been ruled that even if you and your friends are blocking peoples paths through bustling Times Square it’s not a crime.
Matthew Jones had been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in June of 2004, but the New York Court of Appeals decided on Tuesday to overturn his conviction. At the time police has said that people had to walk around him and that he wouldn’t moved when asked and he flailed his arms.
Jones pleaded guilty in 2004 after spending a night in jail, but he later appealed.
To be convicted of disorderly conduct in New York, a person must be acting “with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof” and obstructing vehicular or pedestrian traffic, according to the unanimous opinion.
The court found that Jones’ behavior - standing in the middle of the sidewalk at 2:01 a.m. with friends - did not meet the definition.
“Otherwise, any person who happens to stop on a sidewalk - whether to greet another, to seek directions or simply to regain one’s bearings - would be subject to prosecution under this statute,” the opinion said.
Maybe this isn’t illegal, but it sure is rude when I encounter it on the streets of Toronto. Move to the side people!
Do you believe in the power of positive thinking? Do you think it could save the world?
If you do, you aren’t alone. Apparently a group of transcendental meditation practitioners are saying that crime and war could be stopped in it’s tracks by channeling huge amounts of human psychic energy into productive thought.
Needham, Mass., psychiatrist Eric Leskowitz told reporters recently that he and his cousin are making a documentary. They’ve borrowed from the TM principle to measure the impact of Fenway Park fans’ creating unified fields of brain waves to carry Boston Red Sox to victory.
I’ve always heard there’s power in positive thought … I wonder what would happen if we started an internet based campaign to save the world?
