The New York City Council has voted to override Mayor Eric Adams' veto of the How Many Stops Act, a controversial bill that mandates the logging of every interaction between the NYPD and the public during street patrols. The veto override was carried out by a margin of 42 to 9, reflecting a significant majority in favor of the bill.
The How Many Stops Act requires police officers to document various details about encounters with the public, including the race, sex, age of individuals involved, as well as the factors leading to the interaction and its outcome. Advocates argue that this transparency will hold law enforcement accountable for any unlawful stops.
