NY State has established a toll-free tip line – 1-855-GUNSNYS (1-855- 486-7697) to encourage residents to report illegal firearm possession. The tip line also allows for information to be submitted via text – individuals can text GUNTIP and their message to CRIMES (274637). The New York State Police staff the tip line 24 hours a day. Upon receiving a call, troopers will solicit as much information as possible regarding a firearm tip then contact the appropriate police agency with the lead to initiate an investigation. If the information leads to an arrest for the illegal possession of a firearm, the “tipster” will be awarded $500. I wonder what would happen if people decided to call this tip line, flooding it all day all night just reading names out of the NYS phone book? I mean how much or how little truth can be translated through a toll free tip line? Good luck “soliciting as much information as possible regarding a firearm tip then contact the appropriate police agency with the lead to initiate an investigation” when I claim to know everyone in the phone book and give them a “reasonable suspicion”. ---

it’s absolute horseshit. anyone with a vendetta against someone can all the line now and have an incentive to do so just to say someone has an assault weapon to get that person(potentially) searched. You’ve got a neighbor who doesn’t like another neighbor that’s an avid gun collector. Person calls the line and the police investigate for no other reason other than some anonymous tip that they “may” have an illegal gun, of which the caller may not know dick about guns or may have not even laid eyes on a gun in the first place(just did it because) Bullshit, waste of money and police time IMO and again Cuomo, THIS ISN’T GOING TO DO JACK SHIT TO PREVENT CRIME! How about you invest time an money into stoppin and preventing the ever rising RAPE rate in this damn state huh?!?! My wife just said today when we discussed this, that she is 200% more afraid of being raped in SARATOGA on a night out on the town with friends, than being shot by someone using a gun. ---

i just heard about this from one of my buddies. i hope you guys have good luck. crumo has gone too far imo. why not rewards for real criminals from him? you guys will see that laws are not helping us the people. i bet you will see a increase of arrests with the safe act. mark my words all your people will be rounded up and convicted of things only a few feel should be crimes. just like everything else. its illegal for me to grow certain vegatables or cash crops in my back yard… its illegal for me to grow a tamatoe and give it to KK. its illegal to stand up for your rights…whats next? ---

No the call on the tip line gets sent to the “targets” police departments juristiction for them to investgate. I hope to fuck the same letters from departments saying the safe act can fuck off, reply in the next few days to this tip line the same way. “We will not accept tips from this tip line, we can investigate on our own” ---

It’s like you’re running to help put out a car fire but didn’t bother to notice you picked a pail of kerosene instead of water. Yes officers take oaths to uphold the law, but also the constitution. If an officer, whether LEO or military, feels that the law is unconstitutional OR puts the lives of others in harms way they have the right to disregard the law. In some cases an absolute DUTY to do so. This IS the exact case with the SAFE act and why so many law enforcement agencies have publicly stood out against it in one way or another. Yes there will always be those officers who will do what is told of them, but for fucks sake man take a step back and get the facts straight on this topic for once before posting. I hear Walmart is having a 65% off sale on tinfoil Pitman, you might want to run down and go stock up. ---
