NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton on Wednesday urged state lawmakers to boost the punishment for resisting arrest and make it a crime to reveal personal information about cops as a means of intimidation.
Bratton said that "too many people still resist arrest" because the offense rarely gets prosecuted, and he called for it to be upgraded from a misdemeanor to a felony.
Bratton also proposed a law barring people from disclosing details about cops' private lives "for no legitimate purpose" and "as a threatening or harassing tactic."
In December, The Post exclusively reported that the eldest daughter of chokehold victim Eric Garner tweeted a link to a Web page that listed the home address of a cop present during her dad's July 17 death.
During his testimony at a hearing in lower Manhattan, Bratton rejected a plan by several state senators to mandate bulletproof glass in all police cars.
Bratton called the $50,000 price to retrofit each of the NYPD's 8,300 vehicles a "significant concern," and noted that bulletproof glass could keep cops from smashing their way out of their cars in an emergency.
A better idea, Bratton said, would be to install ballistic panels in the doors.
