One of the nation’s largest law enforcement agencies said it might charge anybody caught spraying water toward police officers on July 23.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) has circulated a memo throughout the department, confirming civilians could face charges of harassment, disorderly conduct, or other crimes if they splash water on officers.
