Mayor Eric Adams intensified his campaign against the "How Many Stops Act" Tuesday morning, just hours before the City Council is poised to override his veto.

The bill, if enacted, would compel police officers to document all investigative encounters with civilians, including Level 1 and Level 2 encounters, such as simple questions.

Under current laws, officers are only required to log reports for Level 3 encounters, which involve police stops made with reasonable suspicion.

Speaking on "Mornings On 1” Tuesday, Adams defended the current system, noting that many councilmembers came around to it as well following his NYPD ride-along invitation over the weekend.

“We have body cameras. We have stop and frisk reports. We have all sorts of documentation that police officers are doing now, and that is why I took the council members out and ask all of them to join me. And many of them saw, and many of them acknowledge them as they spoke with me after, that they understand exactly what we're saying,” he said.

Adams said he hopes that, should the City Council override his veto, they would fix part of the bill that “will be really labor intensive for police officers.”

However, during an appearance on “Mornings On 1” Monday, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams seemed sure that legislation would pass as is, saying, “I'm very confident that we came through this legislation with a veto-proof majority of council members voting in favor of this bill. So, I feel very confident that we will succeed at the override.”

Joining Adams on Tuesday was Yanely Henriquez, a mother whose 16-year-old daughter was killed in April 2022 during a Bronx high school gunfight. Henriquez, a vocal opponent of the bill, argued that it would burden officers with paperwork.

“I believe you don't need to spend hours and hours doing paperwork and just go out and, we have body cams that they can download in two seconds with how technology works these days,” Henriquez said. “Why do we have to go and spend nine hours doing a police report or trying to get a warrant or anything like that? That's nine hours that nobody's doing their job.”

Mayor Adams echoed Henriquez's sentiments, emphasizing the need for officers to focus on the investigatory aspect of their work, saying, “Policing is not about just guessing. It is about what you have captured on your video camera and what your clear observations are.”
