How would keeping statistical data on who police are stopping going to make the city and jails more dangerous? What is his rationale for that statement/belief?
Because without a great argument it sounds like he feels more accountability is going to lead to more disciplinary action, which could mean less cops on the streets. Seems like what he should be pushing for, if he was actually concerned about public safety would be to start getting departments all over NY to start cleaning house of cops they know are "not the best people". Increase training on de-escalation techniques, and drill into them the consequences of trying to be Rambo with a badge.
He's a former police officer, this was an attempted favor to NYPD
Or he expects the police to increase their bad faith and just reduce the number of random stops they make, which he also believes helps make things safer. Even though communities where police tried "work to rule" kind of actions actually saw improvements in safety because police harassing random people more often doesn't make anything safer.
The police LOVE to do shit like that with zero follow-up. They never explain how, it's always just baseless statements.
City and jails would be more dangerous for cops. If they're held accountable for their actions they might get hurt. Better to hide all that racial profiling and unjust imprisonment
