Frequently Asked Questions

What caused the surge in Red Flag Orders in New York?

In May, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order that mandates law enforcement to file an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) if they suspect an individual poses a danger. This led to a dramatic increase in ERPOs issued monthly.

What are the due process concerns with New York's ERPOs?

Individuals targeted by an ERPO are not informed before the order is filed. Law enforcement argues for the order in court without the affected person present or having legal representation, leading to confiscation without prior knowledge or defense.

What is the advice for individuals facing potential ERPO actions?

It is crucial to exercise your right to remain silent and always let an attorney speak for you. Even seemingly harmless statements can be used against you, so it's best to wait for legal counsel before providing any information.

Can confiscated property be returned after an ERPO?

Often, confiscated property is not returned, or it can take years due to regulations that allow the state to retain items for extended periods. This highlights a significant concern regarding property rights.
