On January 30th, the New York City Council voted 42-9 to override Mayor Eric Adams' vetoes of two key criminal justice bills. The 'How Many Stops Act' mandates NYPD officers to record all low-level investigative interactions with civilians, while the second bill prohibits solitary confinement in city jails. Mayor Adams had defended his veto, arguing that the documentation requirement would overwhelm officers with paperwork and impede NYPD response times. Despite his concerns, the council overrode the vetoes, with supporters advocating for increased transparency and opponents expressing fears over public safety and law enforcement efficacy.
