NYPD releases video of traffic stop involving Councilman Yusef Salaam

New York City Council Member Yusef Salaam, a member of the exonerated group known as the Central Park Five, was stopped and pulled over by police without explanation.
The incident highlights a police transparency bill called the How Many Stops Act, which City Council members will vote on to override Mayor Eric Adams' veto. The bill requires officers to report all investigative stops, including low-level encounters with civilians.
Salaam declined to participate in an NYPD ride-along with the mayor due to the police stop, and Mayor Adams commended the officer's conduct during the interaction.
