New York City Council members have pledged to override the veto of Mayor Eric Adams to push through controversial legislation dubbed the “How Many Stops Act,” which, if passed, would have a disastrous effect on New York Police Department (NYPD) morale as well as exacerbate the city’s already high crime rate, according to critics.
If enacted, the controversial legislation would require police to officially document any encounter they have with the public, including logging the race, gender, and age of any person to whom they speak.
