New York City Council Members Ride with Officers Before Voting on Reporting Bill
The proposal would require officers to file reports on even the most menial encounters with New Yorkers — which Mayor Eric Adams says would drown the police in unnecessary paperwork.
Mayor Eric Adams took a crew of City Council members on police patrol over the weekend in his much-publicized bid to kill a controversial law enforcement bill.
At least eight council members donned body armor for a Saturday night ride-along with cops in Harlem and the Bronx — with Adams hoping to sway at least two council members to flip their votes and squash the proposed “How Many Stops” bill he vetoed this month.
“It was very eye-opening and I think that this is something we should incorporate when we’re putting together bills like this,” Councilwoman Kamillah Hanks (D-Staten Island) told the New York Post after wrapping up the night.
Adams, a former NYPD captain, is banking that the experience will help kill a 35-9 super majority on the council when lawmakers convene on Tuesday to vote to on whether to overturn the mayor’s veto of the controversial “How Many Stops Act.”
The proposal would require officers to file reports on even the most menial encounters with New Yorkers — which Adams says would drown the police in unnecessary paperwork.
