New York’s attorney general said the New York Police Department (NYPD) should stop making routine traffic stops to cut down on deadly encounters between law enforcement and motorists.
Attorney General Letitia James, who acts as a special prosecutor appointed to investigate certain police killings, made the remarks in a statement released Friday, which accompanied the release of a report (pdf) into the Oct. 17 death of a Bronx man who was fatally shot during a traffic stop.
