Right now it is NYC, but the Boston Globe loves the idea so much they just keep running stories about the litigation like they want Boston to start doing it. No way the ATF will let other cities run wild doing their job. I think Bloomberg will get a mild slap on the wrist. Then come up with a policy to treat any future events much more harshly.

Bloomberg’s PIs are safe … the SCOTUS has already ruled that 4473 info cannot be used as evidence in a prosecution.

If you are required by law to fill it out truthfully ( on pain of jail time ), then it becomes an automatic fifth amendment violation … the information on the form becomes immunity-privileged testimony.

Kristopher,

Does that by any chance extend to my 1040 form too? :P

But the immunity doesn't extend to lying on the form, does it? So if you told the truth on the form, the truth couldn't be used against you, but lying on the form could be punished as a separate offense, right?
