LEO question? Evil features?

This is an old thread but let me interject here since there is a lot of misinformation in this thread.
First things first. You should read NYS Penal Law Section 265, Subsection 265.20 titled Exemptions.
In this section, you will find the following;
..."Sections 265.01, 265.02, 265.03, 265.04, 265.05, 265.10, 265.11,
265.12, 265.13, 265.15 and 270.05 shall not apply to:
1. Possession of any of the weapons, instruments, appliances or
substances specified in sections 265.01, 265.02, 265.03, 265.04, 265.05
and 270.05 by the following:
(b) Police officers as defined in subdivision thirty-four of section
1.20 of the criminal procedure law.
(c) Peace officers as defined by section 2.10 of the criminal
procedure law..."

All actively sworn LEO's in the state of NY that meet the requirements of section 1.20 and 2.10 to carry a firearm as per the criminal procedural law are PERSONALLY exempt from all laws in NYS pertaining to the prohibition of ALL NFA firearms, The Assault Weapon Ban, and the high-capacity magazine ban.
When said LEO retires, the exemption goes away.

All federal laws pertaining to firearms and NFA still apply. The individual officer must still get the CLEO signoff on his/her Form 1/Form 4. The last Form 4 to be signed on Long Island that I know of was in the 80's and it was signed by a judge for a court officer who purchased a submachine gun and a machine gun. That officer has since retired and moved out of state.

There are many SBR's, SBS's, and suppressors owned upstate where departments are small and the Chief is friendly to his officers..

Not just a sworn officer. Must be a sworn police officer. Peace officers such as corrections, courts, tbta, etc... Are not exempt from the NYS AWB and must follow all penal laws regarding firearms. Sworn Police Officers are exempt from the AWB throughout NYS.

You obviously didn't read a thing I wrote or even bother to read the law I quoted. Yes, Peace officers ARE exempt from the AWB and all other intrusive bans/prohibitions NYS has in effect.
Read again;
..."(c) Peace officers as defined by section 2.10 of the criminal
procedure law..."

Now lets go to Section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law.

§ 2.10 Persons designated as peace officers.

See the following example. All FDNY are peace officers, but they are expressly prohibited from firearms exemption by law,
..."28. All officers and members of the uniformed force of the New York
city fire department as set forth and subject to the limitations
contained in section 487a-15.0 of the administrative code of the city of
New York; provided, however, that nothing in this subdivision shall be
deemed to authorize such officer to carry, possess, repair or dispose of
a firearm unless the appropriate license therefor has been issued
pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law...."

Now other Peace officers by definition in the law will state the following;

..." 25. Officials, as designated by the commissioner of the department of
corrections and community supervision pursuant to rules of the
department, and correction officers of any state correctional facility
or of any penal correctional institution..."

All Peace Officers who are NOT exempt will be declared so in the definition of their peace officer status as listed in section 2.10.
