Disgusting disrespect for police lands teen in jail—NJ Top News
Here's the stories you'll be talking about on the New Jersey 101.5 Morning Show on Wednesday:
We have often talked about a general lack of respect for authority from teenagers and young adults in New Jersey.
Often, this disrespect if directed at teachers and law enforcement.
We have heard from countless members of both professions who say it has reached epidemic levels.
An unfortunate example of what we have discussed many times came in Lakewood on Monday morning.
A police officer came upon 18-year-old Shmaya Schreiber riding his skateboard through an active construction zone.
That is dangerous not only for Schreiber, but also for passing motorists. The officer tried to explain this to Schreiber and get him to move along.
Instead of thanking the officer for protecting him and the public, the young man ignored the officer and refused to leave.
The officer had no choice but to insist and at one point tried to stop Schreiber give him a ticket.
What followed would have been unthinkable to previous generations. Police say Schreiber became confrontational with the officer and then spit in his face. He then resisted his arrest, which was triggered by his own actions.
Spitting on a police officer is not only a disgusting show of disrespect, it is a serious crime in New Jersey.
Under New Jersey Law, it is considered a form of aggravated assault. This is a serious criminal offense that can result in significant prison time and a permanent criminal record.
Schreiber has been charged with aggravated assault as well resisting arrest and other charges. At 18, he is an adult under the law and will charges in adult court.
All of which could have been avoided if he had shown even a small amount of respect to a police officer who was just trying to keep him safe.
