Here's an interesting look at the original purpose of the law: Quote The statute [Civil Rights Law §50-a] does not make all personnel records of police officers exempt from disclosure. The statute was intended to apply to situations where a party to an underlying criminal or civil action is seeking documents in a police officer's personnel file, and was apparently designed to prevent “fishing expeditions” to find material to use in cross-examination. If, upon in camera inspection, the Trial Judge finds that a document sought is “relevant and material in the action before him”, he must make the relevant portions of the document available (Civil Rights Law § 50–a[3] ). It is thus clear that, in enacting this statute, the Legislature did not intend to create a blanket exemption from disclosure for personnel records of police officers. Rather, the intent was to prevent time-consuming and perhaps vexatious investigation into irrelevant collateral matters in the context of a civil or criminal action.

Quote Undercover nurse: NY hospital didn’t properly isolate coronavirus patients A Florida nurse turned investigative journalist who worked in New York City at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic reported Saturday that she had witnessed negligent practice firsthand in her hospital. In an interview on "Fox & Friends Weekend" with host Jedediah Bila, Army veteran Erin Marie Olszewski explained it was an "extremely common," "everyday experience" for Queens' Elmhurst Hospital to not properly isolate coronavirus patients. 1

New York City Council backs proposal to slash $1 billion from NYPD budget By Peter Aitken | Fox News New York City Council leaders have issued a joint statement declaring their intent to back proposals slashing $1 billion from the NYPD budget. Speaker Corey Johnson, Majority Leader Laurie Cumbo, Finance Committee Chair Daniel Dromm and Public Safety Committee Chair Donovan Richards, among others, said they support a plan to “get to $1 billion in cuts to New York City’s police spending in the Fiscal 2021 budget.” The NYPD has a proposed budget of $6 billion, which Mayor Bill de Blasio has pledged to cut in response to citywide protests after initially backing the department. The loss of $1 billion in funding would limit the scope and function of the police, but the City Council believes it shows a clear commitment towards reform. “There is no doubt that this is an ambitious goal, but it is one that the time we are in calls for – both here in New York City and nationwide,” read the statement, posted on the council's website. “This is possible," the statement said, noting anticipated savings by "reducing uniform headcount through attrition, cutting overtime, shifting responsibilities away from the NYPD, finding efficiencies" and more. https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-cut-billion-nypd-budget 1

But, as someone that goes to NYC on occasion for entertainment, I will no longer do that. I am sure there will be thousands of others who will also no longer go. That billion dollars "saved" will equal billionS lost for NYC when it is all said and done. The unfortunate part is that those of us in upstate and WNY will somehow end up paying for those losses.

NYC's coronavirus nightmare: With no public bathrooms, the Big Apple is now 'the Big Toilet' By Kirsten Fleming | New York Post Working at a beer store on St. Mark’s Place, Brittany Spano, 27, has seen the Big Apple’s robust social life return, albeit in an abridged form. Drink windows selling to-go cocktails and beers have sprung up throughout the city, drawing in socially starved New Yorkers who have been in quarantine for three months. But this re-emergence has come with a stream of issues — mainly a steady flow of revelers freely peeing in public since most bathrooms remain closed. And now, with thousands of protesters taking to the streets each day, more people than ever are contributing to NYC’s No. 1 problem by whizzing in the wild. “Last night, my co-worker saw some guy just coming down the street and pulling down his pants [to urinate],” Spano tells The Post. “She was like, ‘Nah, not here, man.’ https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-coronavirus-pandemic-public-urination 1
