Federal Halo Act establishes a safety buffer zone to protect Federal law enforcement officers from obstruction, threats, and harassment.
The Federal Halo Act amends title 18, United States Code, to establish a safety buffer zone around Federal law enforcement officers. It makes it unlawful to approach or remain within 15 feet of a Federal law enforcement officer after receiving a verbal warning, with the intent to impede, threaten, or harass the officer. Violators face fines, imprisonment, or both. The Act defines "Federal law enforcement officer" and "harass" for clarity in enforcement.
