Subject: Re: NY Leg Proposal to cite 'Resisting Arrest' as Felony
https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/S5048
September 25, 2023
Dear Utah State Legislators and other State Government of Utah officials,
I would like to share with each of you the above online link to a proposed new state law for the State Government of New York that was submitted to the New York Legislature earlier this year.
That proposed new state law for the "Empire State" would classify the second separate occasion by a crime suspect of "Resisting Arrest" in that state as a Felony Crime.
I am very hopeful that our sagacious Utah Legislature in early 2024 or during a possible Special Session in 2023 will consider approving a similarly worded new state law for Utah.
That approval of a new state law of this type for Utah can significantly reduce the number of Utahn municipal police officers, Utahn sheriff's deputies, and Utah DPS law enforcement officers per year who are injured by crime suspects here in Utah.
I also feel sure that the proposed new state law for Utah can also significantly reduce the incidence of crime suspects in Utah who get injured when a peace officer is attempting to approach them or handcuff them or after the suspects were handcuffed or while those suspects are being transported to a jail by that peace officer.
I hope this follow-up letter proves to be helpful to each of you very honorable Utah State Legislators.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
former Texas DPS full-time employee John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

Dear Very Honorable Officials of the Utah State Legislature "Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel" state agency here in Salt Lake City,
I have not yet received any individualized reply letter from the people-friendly Public Information Officer for Utah DPS, Sgt. Cameron Roden, or any carbon-copy recipient in response to the friendly questions that I posed below to Sgt. Roden on September 5.
I would appreciate a reply letter to me on this very important issue from any State of Utah official or any other government official or non-profit group representing or serving Utahns.

Subject: 9-5-23 'Resisting Arrest' Questions for Utah DPS
September 5, 2023
Dear Utah Department of Public Safety Public Information Officer and Sgt. Cameron Roden in Taylorsville,
Best Wishes to you in your very influential role for the Utah DPS as your crime-fighting organization reviews changing statewide demographics for Utah resulting from recent influxes of new residents---many of them African-American, as I'm sure your state agency is very aware --- from other U.S. states.
Sgt. Roden, has your noble statewide law-enforcement agency for Utah compiled and issued to the news media any recent report on the total percentage of all "Resisting Arrest" municipal law-enforcement crime cases in Utah during the most recent applicable six-month period, one-year period, five-year period, 10-year period, and 20-year period, respectively, in which the crime suspect charged with "Resisting Arrest" was identified by police in Utah as African-American?
How does that percentage compare with the total combined percentage of African-Americans who reside or resided during each of those applicable time periods in one or more municipalities of Utah that maintain or maintained a municipal police department?
Aside from African Americans, do you know of any other racial group currently in Utah that possibly accounts for a disproportionately high percentage of all of the "Resisting Arrest" cases here in the Beehive State?
Has the Utah DPS officially confirmed in writing in a recent DPS report that African-American crime suspects in Utah account for a disproportionately high percentage of all the crime suspects in this state who were charged with "Resisting Arrest" when a municipal police officer in Utah arrested them or attempted to arrest them?
Also, what percentage of the "Resisting Arrest" cases in Utah in which the suspect injured or fatally injured a municipal law-enforcement officer involved a crime suspect who was African-American?
Have your Utah DPS statewide reports compiled any recent statistics on the percentage of all of the "Resisting Arrest" cases in Utah in which a crime suspect who exchanged gunfire with a municipal police officer was himself or herself (the suspect) African-American?
Do you yourself believe that the total incidence of "Resisting Arrest" in Utah would decline significantly if any and all "Resisting Arrest" cases that occur here in Utah were automatically classified by the Utah Legislature as a felony crime?
Finally, Sgt. Roden, do you have any reason to believe that violence or threatened violence against municipal police officers in Utah could be dramatically reduced if all secondary-level students and post-secondary students in our state were each and every school year required to watch and then pass a special pop quiz on their campus?
I am referring to a pop quiz specifically about a fact-filled and educational videotape those students had just watched which advised them to "Never Resist the Police Officer In Utah Who Is Attempting to Arrest You".
Thank you again, Sgt. Roden, for your numerous friendly reply letters to me in recent months on behalf of the Utah DPS.
I hope this most recent brainstorming letter will also prove to be helpful to you and your Utah DPS colleagues under the first-rate leadership of Utah DPS Commissioner Jess L. Anderson.
Sincerely and Best Wishes from John Kevin McMillan, a former full-time employee in Austin (TX) for the Texas Department of Public Safety; a Lincoln, Nebraska native; and a permanently alcohol-free (ever since 1990), permanently marijuana-free (ever since 1984) and lifelong- illicit-drug-free in regard to any and all illicit drugs other than marijuana, lifelong-tobacco-free, lifelong-tattoo-less, facially cleanshaven, permanently jewelry-less, platonicly polite, consistently clean-talking and non-profane in my everyday conversations with others, dependably civil and law-abiding and honest, gainfully employed single adult white British-German-ancestry male current permanent resident of Utah ever since January 1, 2023.
