Does not matter. The text of the law is clear.
THIS is what they wrote, voted on, and which the governor signed. If they are ignorant as to what body armor really is...tough! Perhaps they're only concerned about easily concealable soft vests. I have no idea. I only know what is now codified as New York law by the written text.
New York Proposes Banning Defensive Body Armor (S9407)
Stop acting ad if cops have any option in this craziness. The rank and file cops have no say in it. Many cops buy their own vests. The second we retire, it’s a crime( or 15 days later depending on the interpretation of the law) . Security guards too. We have no say in this craziness. That's...

Statute text:
Section 1. The penal law is amended by adding two new sections 270.21 and 270.22 to read as follows: § 270.21 Unlawful purchase of a body vest. A person is guilty of the unlawful purchase of a body vest when, not being engaged or employed in an eligible profession, they knowingly purchase or take possession of a body vest, as such term is defined in subdivision two of section 270.20 of this article. This section shall not apply to individuals or entities engaged or employed in eligible professions, which shall include police officers as defined in section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law, peace officers as defined in section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law, persons in military service in the state of New York or military or other service for the United States, and such other professions designated by the department of state in accordance with section one hundred forty-four-a of the executive law.
270.20 text defining a "body vest":
A BODY VEST is a bullet-resistant soft body armor providing, as a minimum standard, the level of protection known as threat level I which shall mean at least seven layers of bullet resistant material providing protection from three shots of one hundred fifty-eight [158] grain lead ammunition fired from a .38 caliber handgun at a velocity of eight hundred fifty [850] feet per second.

Able to Stop a Speeding Bullet—It’s Super Wood!
"A five-layer, plywoodlike sandwich of densified wood stopped simulated bullets fired into the material—a result Hu and his colleagues suggest could lead to low-cost armor. The material does not protect quite as well as a Kevlar sheet of the same thickness—but it only costs about 5 percent as much, he notes."

Simple processes can make wood tough, impact-resistant—or even transparent

This article was published in 2018. Does anyone know of body armor made from wood?

No. The law guns hotline for the safe act that NYS police is manning.

The definition says 7 layers.

Motorcyclist might have a problem. Certain protective jackets and chaps have Kevlar pads that may or may not meet that standard.

Only of some cop decides to be a massive dick about it.
It's also unlikely that those jackets meet the second part of the test (the ballistic requirement to stop a 38.)
Imagine the court case where you have to shoot your jacket to prove it isn't bullet proof.
Do they need to buy a new jacket after you prove it wasn't bullet proof ?
Wouldn't the prosecutor have to shoot it to prove it was ?

It’s a reach but it’s the selling- not possession of such stuff. It’s more of the motorcycle shops that it could effect.
But it could effect ballistic blankets that people get for backstop protection or sprawl liners.

Be pretty hard to sell to a jury that a blanket is a vest.
But I suppose if they can call a bee a fish in CA anything's possible.

It’s not a jury I worry about . It’s an overzealous political prosecutor

Does this mean to ride a motorcycle you need to look like this if soft protection is not kosher?

While going through this thread I remembered that right after I moved to NY.
A guy that I met here told me that the wrist rocket that I had is banned in NY.
It sounded so dumb that I thought that he was just joking around. Then I realized that he wasn't.
Banning defensive body armor (or whatever this law means, to possess or sell?)
Is even dumber than the wrist rocket ban. Which is really dumb.

Remember shortly after the NY UNSAFE Act went down. That the original plan included confiscation. And then they backed off that before the bill was signed into law.
It seems the same thing happened with the body armor bill (S9407.)
That's what I have read anyways, in the beginning, they were considering confiscation.
That shows they want more than the laws even reflect.
Just sayin'

Looks like the idiots in the local press and in Albany are aware of their ineptitude in crafting this legislation.
