if every past case of an arrest on those charges was tossed, isnt it ripe for a civil suit (malicious prosecution etc) if the nypd persists in making these unsupportable arrests? I think in order to protect against that, a directive was probably issued telling officers to stop with the arrests already since there hasnt been any recent (5 years?) cases that i know of. just trying to gather info here, not making conclusions

might have something to do with fact that DNPs earned a doctorate, and thus earned the honorific "Dr" ( and PAs, Pharms for the most part dont have a doctorate). funny how doc's feel the NP/DNP heat lol.

ok great thanks for your opinion. we're past "you're stupid because you [do / dont] (pik one) want a badge." now we're at info gathering for those in NYC who want one and want to be sure it wont cause a problem with NYPD and NYS Court Officers any relevant feedback on that point?

Whats the current state of affairs in NYS especially NYC, regarding this badge controversy? A few of us new grads are researching this before purchasing shields. Havent found any writeups of arrests since the events in this thread in 2006. Seems to me that if judges tossed out all 80 arrests, any arrests on same charges under the same circumstances would constitute harassment or false arrest and be actionable. I spoke to a few street cops (detectives and a sarge) and they all said they wouldnt have any problem with an emt with a shield as described in he arrest reports above unless he was trying to pass himself off as a cop. anyway, anyone have any authoritative guidance here?
