NYPD cops will be forced to report on even their most minor interactions with the public after the City Council on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected Mayor Eric Adams’ veto of the “How Many Stops Act’’ — which he and other critics argued would threaten public safety.
Adams, who fought the bill tooth and nail in recent weeks, failed to sway the two council members he needed to beat the override — which passed in a bruising 42-9 vote.
The Democrat-led council also voted to override Adams’ veto of another bill banning solitary confinement in Big Apple jails.
“These bills will make New Yorkers less safe on the streets, while police officers are forced to fill out additional paperwork rather than focus on helping New Yorkers and strengthening community bonds,” Adams said in a statement after the vote.
“Additionally, it will make staff in our jails and those in our custody less safe by impairing our ability to hold those who commit violent acts accountable.”
Under the NYPD bill, officers will have to record the “apparent” race, gender and age of nearly every person they question — even someone who could just be a potential witness to a crime, or other of the lowest-level encounters.
Adams, a former NYPD captain, and police advocates had been adamant that the bill would bog cops down in a sea of unnecessary paperwork and slow down investigations.
“Today’s override is one more step toward the city council goal: Destroy the world’s best police
department,” NYPD Detectives Endowment Association president Paul DiGiacomo said.
“Thanks to the politicians, the divide between the police and citizens will grow. And so will retirements of our best, most experienced detectives. Heartbreaking.”

When do the cops have a protest at city hall ?
Name of the brave 9 councilmembers who voted against override?
What could go wrong ?
Thank you Biden/Democrats. This makes a lot of sense!
A list of those Democrats who voted for this bill needs to be posted. So the people of their Districts that they’re supposed to representing can decide whether or not they want to keep them in! #VOTETHEMOUT
The Total Collapse of Public Order in America

Deport the cop beaters!
I was watching this vote on WNYC over the air TV Channel 25
It was like watching a gang operate, all about the poor black and Latino criminals stopped and arrested by police not equal to white arrest and jail stats.
The speeches were all of it just crazy.
At the end they were all hooting an high-fiving each other like street thugs in a Charles Bronson Deathwish movie.
This may lead to a police strike, everybody's and everything is going to be robbed.
I think this is what they want

Nothing but the brightest and the best for NYC !
""Deport the cop beaters""
Good luck with that, all they got was a court notice to disappear and released no bail.
The Church already took them in an bought them a bus to Mexico under different names. ---no warrant until they miss their court date, by then they will be back in Central America.
DA Bragg, the Catholic Church and Albany lawmakers are asshole's !
Is that black nitwit still driving around with his tinted windows and Georgia plates?
Did you see the evil smiles on their 42 faces ? Disgusting...
This is the dumbest thing. Imagine the scenario: A woman gets robbed up the block. "Help, police, this woman is being robbed!". Policeman says "she'll have to wait because I am writing up this report about this person who asked me for directions because this is more important". Wonderful laws dems. Way to go you buffoons

NYC still has cops? Huh. Who would want to be a cop there.
What are they doing for the homeless AMERICAN citizens and our veterans?
New York’s downfall is the rest of America’s gain.
Swagger Man with no plan Quit bellyaching and ‘get stuff done’ !
He failed the sergeant exam, failed the lieutenants exam, failed the captains exam, and now he is failing as a Mayor.
Are liberals done feeling good about themselves for voting for the weak do-nothing Mayor Adams? Sadly, no. As Michael Savage says “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”
Grab a seat and a bowl of popcorn and watch the meltdown continue.
No one can be surprised or shocked anymore.
I don't understand why anyone wants to be a cop in NYC when in red cities they are protected and respected. The Police Commissioner Eddy Cabann is as useless as Fat Bragg, Clown Kathy, and the Swagger Man with no plan.
Does this mean the cops can continue to sit in their cars and stare at their phones all day?
