A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the New York city police department to provide the civilian complaint review board with direct access to officer body-warn camera footage and to establish related procedures
👍 Positive
2025-11-12 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Greater CCRB access to body‑camera footage can improve accountability and reduce biased or harmful traffic enforcement against pedestrians and cyclists, supporting equity and willingness to walk/bike. Effects on crash prevention and driver behavior are indirect and likely modest.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requirements for police department high-speed vehicle pursuits
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Stricter limits, supervisor authorization, and a ban on PIT maneuvers reduce the frequency and intensity of high‑speed chases, lowering risk to pedestrians and cyclists. Aerial handoff and disengagement further shift enforcement away from dangerous street pursuits, improving system-wide safety.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requirements for police department high-speed vehicle pursuits
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
By limiting pursuits to violent felonies, requiring supervisor authorization, capping participating units, prohibiting tactical vehicle intervention, and disengaging when aerial support is available, the bill should reduce high-speed police driving on city streets. Fewer pursuits lower crash risk and collateral injuries to pedestrians and cyclists.
