What if I get caught carrying a knife in the city of New York?
I have 14 years soon 15 years and have always wanted to carry a knife little me for self defense. In fact, not self-defense, but I'm seeing a lot of movies, so whenever something bad might happen and would need a survival knife and it would be very useful. Or kidnapped me and I started to cut myself free. But I think it would be useful. I'm not sure what would happen if I am caught by the police. It is not my intention to hurt nobody, nobody, or stab him. I was thinking about buying this because it is a knife and I'm going to take me, I have to have a style you know. http://www.apexresourcegroup.com/images/Batman_knife_KA0065-2.jpg
It is not legal for you to carrying a knife in the city of New York at age 14, must wait until age 18. New York State Penal Law § 265.01 (2) makes it unlawful to possess any dagger, knife, dangerous knife or dagger only if there is intent to use unlawfully against another person. The problem develops in Penal Law § 265.15 in which the law actually creates a presumption that a person possessing a knife, dagger, dirk, dagger or dangerous has the intent to use unlawfully against another person if it is adapted or designed primarily for use as a weapon. And it's hard to know exactly what that means. What does it mean that a knife is mainly for use as a weapon? The answer is not clear. In Queens, a Criminal Court judge ruled that possession of a dagger no more enough to make a charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the Fourth Grade. People v. Nwogu. In Manhattan, another Criminal Court judge ruled that possession of a knife along with a statement that the knife was for self-defense was enough for a charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth grade. The judge argued that by declaring that it was for self defense showing that the defendant takes the knife a weapon, and therefore the presumption applied, but the judge ruled that the accused had remained silent that the evidence is not sufficient. People v. Richards. {}
