NYC Mayor Vetoes 'How Many Stops Act'

Adams Argues Bill Would Hinder Police Work, Increase Costs

New York City Mayor Eric Adams vetoed the 'How Many Stops Act', a bill that would have required police officers to document every 'investigative encounter'.
Adams argued that the bill would decrease the NYPD's response times and add millions of dollars in overtime to the department's budget.
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, a co-sponsor of the bill, disagreed with the mayor's decision, arguing that the bill would increase police accountability.
Many citizens and opinion writers have expressed support for Adams' veto, arguing that the bill would hinder police work and contribute to low police morale.
Adams has invited every City Council member for a ride-along with the NYPD to see how the bill would be implemented.
