TL;DR Summary

Mayor Eric Adams is making a late effort to persuade City Council members not to override his vetoes on two bills related to NYPD transparency and solitary confinement. He argues that the bills could compromise public safety and accuses Council members of misleading the public. The How Many Stops Act would require NYPD officers to document low-level interactions, while the bill banning solitary confinement at city jails has been contested despite rules against it. The City Council needs 34 votes to override a veto, and several new members have taken office since the initial vote on the bills.
