As a New Yorker this bill is stupid. If a cop is going to lie they're going to lie on that report. Cops already required to wear body camera. I am sure a video is 10x better than this stupid report.

[nosyrosie]

The Mayor is right. Why make NYPD's job's more difficult?

[Reconseal]

That Williams guy is once of the worst activist ruining the city.

[LawandOrder-fixk]

Recall Williams and vote these council members out of office. Bring back Stop and Frisk.

[schneidja]

Makes it easier not to prove any racial profiling is happening.

[bobbachelor]

The policy should only apply when police stop someone or impede their progress, suspecting them of a crime.

[cousinmartin]

Ridiculous. Just take the time to catch criminals. Less paperwork. Natives of the usa need affordable dwellings and basic needs. Stop wasting time. Where Curtis Sliwa- put Curtis Sliwa in office.

Whoever came up with that ideal need psych evaluation

[kej]

Are they wearing bodycams? Wouldn't it be easier to submit a video?

[ilandgrl]

So the cops will have their faces in their phone making all thsse notes that puts them and the public in danger!! How stupid!!!

[amirmiller]

Can anyone explain why the government would need this type of information. Doubt it would help people want to come forward as witnesses

[polemius]

Of course Adams coddles the cops. He's a member of that Overgrown Adolescent Boys' Club!
Many people experience emotional anxiety when cops ask them questions. This bill would have made the cops think twice before they stop someone on the street.

[mellboy]

Most cops I see always on their phone playing games or chatting

[udeciderealreporting]

What else do they do that THEY'RE SO BUSY???

[WhiskeyPete]

Recording all of the facts or details of any encounter should be within their capabilities.

[ec]

Reverse it and imagine your own job requires you to log everything in detail, everyday. Peace!

[damnjustassignmeone]

This is a great idea if you want to make policing massively more expensive. It would lead to having fewer cops, which is exactly the point. Just another way to defund the police.

[polytic]

so what is the use of body cam if the police need to report any encounter too?

[damnjustassignmeone]

So let me get this straight. If a black person goes missing & cops canvas the neighborhood asking people who happen to be mostly black if they’ve seen this person, it’s going to look like the cop stops black people too much. That’s mind bogglingly stupid.
