NYPL §255.17 Adultery NYPL § 240.35 Loitering NYPL §235 Obscenity NYPL §255.17 Adultery New York Penal Law Sec. 255.17 Adultery § 255.17 Adultery. A person is guilty of adultery when he engages in sexual intercourse with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse. Adultery is a class B misdemeanor. Examples of ridiculous scenarios which would be criminal offenses under this statute. If a man has sex with a person who is married. If a married man has sex with any person other than his spouse. If a man who is separated from his spouse for many years has sex with someone.   NYPL § 240.35 Loitering NYPL § 240.35 Loitering In NY loitering is not what most people think it is. In the State of New York a person isn’t violating the law when they loiter unless they are on school grounds, a college university, or a bus depot (we’ll get back to the bus depots to discuss the exceptions there). So standing around on a street corner or outside of a store is not actually criminal loitering. If you are standing around and then one of your friends pulls out a pair of dice or a domino though, then you’re a criminal.  If you are only standing there in matching white shirts that are four sizes too large with your jeans belted just above your knees exposing the entirety of your bright red underwear, that’s totally fine. However, the second one of your more criminally minded friends brings up the idea of involving some playing cards or poker chips then you better get the fuck out of there! This leads us to something that has been a topic of much debate in recent years, masks. If you are standing around in public with a mask on and your friends are also wearing masks, then you are guilty of criminal loitering. What about the mask mandate in NYC? You explain to the cop, “I took my mask off so I wouldn’t be violating section 240.35 by criminally loitering with all these other mask wearers.” You let twelve know that you are the one showing respect to the blue and it is these latte-sipping paycheck collecting bitches that are showing a total disregard for the State of New York’s criminal loitering law! READ THE LAW BELOW: § 240.35 – Loitering A person is guilty of loitering when he: Loiters or remains in a public place for the purpose of gambling with cards, dice or other gambling paraphernalia; or   Being masked or in any manner disguised by unusual or unnatural attire or facial alteration, loiters, remains or congregates in a public place with other persons so masked or disguised, or knowingly permits or aids persons so masked or disguised to congregate in a public place; except that such conduct is not unlawful when it occurs in connection with a masquerade party or like entertainment if, when such entertainment is held in a city which has promulgated regulations in connection with such affairs, permission is first obtained from the police or other appropriate authorities; or   Loiters or remains in or about school grounds, a college or university building or grounds or a children’s overnight camp; or   Loiters or remains in any transportation facility, unless specifically authorized to do so, for the purpose of soliciting or engaging in business, trade or commercial transactions involving the sale of merchandise or services, or for the purpose of entertaining persons by singing, dancing or playing any musical instrument. NYPL §235 Obscenity NYPL §235.00 Obscenity § 235.00 Obscenity definitions of terms. The following definitions are applicable to sections 235.05, 235.10 and 235.15 “Obscene.” Any material or performance is “obscene” if: (a) the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that considered as a whole, its predominant appeal is to the prurient interest in sex, and (b) it depicts or describes in a patently offensive manner, actual or simulated: sexual intercourse, criminal sexual act, sexual bestiality, masturbation, sadism, masochism, excretion or lewd exhibition of the genitals, and (c) considered as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific value. Predominant appeal shall be judged with reference to ordinary adults unless it appears from the character of the material or the circumstances of its dissemination to be designed for children or other specially susceptible audience. 2. “Material” means anything tangible which is capable of being used or adapted to arouse interest, whether through the medium of reading, observation, sound or in any other manner. 3. “Performance” means any play, motion picture, dance or other exhibition performed before an audience. § 235.05 Obscenity in the third degree. A person is guilty of obscenity in the third degree when, knowing its content and character, he 1. Promotes, or possesses with intent to promote, any obscene material; or 2. Produces, presents or directs an obscene performance or participates in a portion thereof which is obscene or which contributes to its obscenity. Obscenity in the third degree is a class A misdemeanor. Ridiculous ways that a person may be criminally convicted under this statute If a person were to make a video or photographs themself masturbating. If a person were to make a video or photographs someone else masturbating with their consent if a person makes a video or photographs themself having any sort of sexual interaction with another person with that person’s permission YOU are the one showing respect to the blue and it is these latte-sipping paycheck collecting bitches that are showing a total disregard for the State of New York’s criminal loitering law!
