YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe New York City Council has overwhelmingly rejected Mayor Eric Adams’ veto of the controversial NYPD bill that will force cops to document nearly every interaction with the public — something Hizzoner and other critics have argued will drown officers in paperwork and threaten public safety.
Adams, who fought the “How Many Stops Act” tooth-and-nail in recent weeks, failed to sway the two council members he needed to beat the override — with the final vote to force the through the bill passing 42-9 on Tuesday afternoon.
In another blow to the mayor, the Democrat-led council during the same vote also rejected Adams’ veto of a second piece of legislation that will see a ban on solitary confinement in Big Apple jails.
Under the How Many Stops Act, officers will have to record details on the apparent race, gender and ages of people they stop — even in low-level encounters where cops are asking for information from someone who could just be a potential witness to a crime.
Adams has been adamant the bill will only bog cops down in a sea of unnecessary paperwork and could lead to cops just guessing demographic information about the people they’re speaking to in the low-level stops.
