Law requiring NYPD to report most encounters with civilians takes effect
John Jay College adjunct lecturer Jill Snider spent 15 years as an NYPD officer, and believes the new law will hinder police-community relations.
“When an officer is talking to someone and asks their name and address, most times that person gets a little defensive like, why are you asking me for that? Which I think will also make people a little reluctant to speak to the police willingly,” Snider said.
