Overview

• Mayor Eric Adams vetoed the 'How Many Stops Act', a bill that would require NYPD officers to fill out a form every time they speak to a witness or possible witness to a crime.
• The City Council passed the bill with a veto-proof majority, but Adams needs just two members to change votes to uphold his veto.
• The bill is controversial as it is seen to increase paperwork for officers, potentially taking them off the streets and increasing overtime costs.
• Supporters of the bill argue it would increase transparency and accountability in the NYPD.
• The City Council is expected to vote on whether to override the veto.
