City Council to Pass Onerous Set of Requirements on NYPD

YS Gold
Seven proposals are up for passage in the New York City Council which critics say would impede the work of police and would bury them in reporting requirements, even for the most minor interactions with New Yorkers.
Millions of reports would need to be filed, should these proposals be passed. The NYPD would also be mandated to speedily turn over bodycam footage to investigators.
These measures follow assertions by a number of councilmembers that the NYPD was not providing enough transparency. Not surprisingly, many in the NYPD see it differently.
“The City Council needs to stop. Stop burying cops under paperwork and the NYPD under useless reporting requirements. Stop empowering the overlapping oversight regimes to crush cops’ careers just to fuel their anti-police narrative,” Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry told the New York Post.
