#HowManyStopsAct is not complicated. It’s basic data, demographics on who’s being stopped and on what basis. This is the baseline level of information needed to hold police to constitutional standards. That’s the issue here. And that’s what the Council must deliver for NYers 6/6
At 7:30pm, I’ll be joining Errol Louis (@errol.louis on Threads) on Spectrum News NY1’s #InsideCityHall to discuss today’s New York City Council veto overrides in support of the #HowManyStopsAct , legislation to ban solitary confinement, and more.
Watch here: ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…
Let's clear (ahem) something up about the NYPD's vehicle stop of Yusef Abdus Salaam, and how it relates to the common sense transparency (ahem) bill, the #HowManyStopsAct .
Transparency can’t be selective. It should apply across the board. #HowManyStopsAct may not have direct bearing on this particular type of traffic stop, but the rationale for it is clear as can be here - we need to know the impact of and reason for investigative encounters 5/6
“The lack of transparency and accountability in these stops diminishes the trust between the police and community residents, making our neighborhoods less safe.”
The Council must override the Mayor’s veto and pass the #HowManyStopsAct .
