"NYPD Transparency Laws Spark Power Struggle Between Mayor and City Council"

The NYC Council overrides Mayor Adams’ vetoes of the How Many Stops Act, expanding NYPD transparency requirements, and a bill banning the use of solitary confinement in city jails. The overrides, approved in 42-9 votes, mark a fraught period for the mayor and City Council Democrats, who have publicly sparred over the impact of both pieces of legislation. The How Many Stops Act will require NYPD officers to log basic info about every civilian they stop, aiming to address unconstitutional police stops of Black and Brown New Yorkers. Despite the overrides, it remains to be seen whether the mayor's administration will fully comply with the new criminal justice measures.
