According to documents leaked to Project Veritas by NYPD insiders, the New York Police Department is coming after anyone carrying a firearm. 

The leaked document appears to be the department’s monthly “Legal Bureau Bulletin,” and informs officers how the department should interpret the law on carrying concealed firearms. 

It explains that officers should assume the firearm carrying is acting illegally. “Anyone carrying a firearm is presumed to be carrying unlawfully until proven otherwise,” it reads. 

This new interpretation of the law is a direct inversion of what the United States' legal system was built upon.
