"Central Park Five Councilman Yusef Salaam Refuses NYPD Ride-Along After Controversial Traffic Stop"

City Councilmember Yusef Salaam has declined to participate in an NYPD ride-along after being pulled over in Harlem, stating that the officer did not provide a rationale for the stop. The NYPD released body cam footage showing the stop, which they claim was proper due to the car's tinted windows. Mayor Eric Adams is seeking City Council support for his veto of the How Many Stops Act, while Council Speaker Adrienne Adams has moved to override the veto, emphasizing the importance of police transparency for public safety.
