I agree with most people on here...most of them men said "hi, hello, beautilful"...got no reaction and kept it movin...
Problem is....the Harassment law is very broad in NYS :
N.Y. Penal Law § 240.26 - Harassment in the second degree
A person is guilty of harassment in the second degree when, with
intent to harass, annoy or alarm another follows a person in or about a public place or places; or (3) He or she engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts which alarm or seriously annoy such other person and which serve no legitimate purpose. Subdivisions two and three of this section shall not apply to activities regulated by the national labor relations act, as amended, the railway labor act, as amended, or the federal employment labor management act, as amended. Harassment in the second degree is a violation.
It's all based on interpretation of "annoy" and "alarm"
...technically all of the men could have been
arrested for a misdemeanor according to sub catagory 1.
Misdemeanor's in NYS carry a maximum of up to 1 year in a city jail
