Mayor Eric Adams Vetoed 'How Many Stops Act', City Council Vows to Override

The bill, which requires NYPD officers to log basic information about every civilian they interact with, is at the center of a political dispute over police transparency and accountability.

• Mayor Eric Adams has vetoed the 'How Many Stops Act', a bill that would require NYPD officers to log basic information about every civilian they interact with in investigative encounters.
• Adams argues that the bill would bury police in paperwork and distract them from their duties, while supporters of the bill argue it is necessary for transparency and accountability.
• City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, who introduced the bill, have vowed to override the mayor's veto.
• Mayor Adams claims some council members who voted for the bill have privately expressed their dislike for it, but this claim has not been substantiated.
• The bill passed with a veto-proof majority in December, but an override vote is expected to take place by early March.
