NEW YORK — New Yorkers who use their cell phones to record police officers often get so close to the action they create a “dangerous environment,” Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday.
“There’s a proper way to police and there’s a proper way to document,” Adams said.
“If your iPhone can’t catch that picture with you being at a safe distance, then you need to upgrade your iPhone,” said the mayor. “Stop being on top of my police officers while they’re carrying out their jobs. That is not acceptable and it won’t be tolerated.
