NYPD blues:Cops ignored 93% of surveillance law rules

»www.theregister.com/2023 ··· e_rules/
quote:
Back in July 2020, then New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio signed the Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology (POST) Act into law, which required the New York Police Department to reveal how it uses surveillance technology and to formulate surveillance policies. The NYPD, however, has rejected 93 percent of the advice from an independent oversight body, the Department of Investigations' (DOI) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the force about how to comply with the law. According to OIG's Ninth Annual Report [PDF], the cop watchdog made 15 recommendations and the NYPD refused to implement 14 of them. These include recommendations like identifying the organizations with which NYPD shares surveillance data: "NYPD should identify in each IUP [Impact and Use Policy] each external agency, by name, with which the Department can share surveillance data." NYPD, according to the report, argues that it has complied with the POST Act, found in a previous OIG report [PDF] to fall short of community expectations because it "did not require the same level of transparency with respect to the use of surveillance technology as other jurisdictions require…" The OIG agrees its recommendation is not an explicit requirement of the law, but says that following its recommendation will allow the watchdog to audit NYPD's POST Act compliance and that it is required by law to "study, audit and make recommendations relating to the operations, policies, programs and practices" of the city police.

That's what you get for not following RFC 2119.

I think it's more like "Yo"...and they did manage a 7% success rate, so it could have been worse.

But of course. They're the police. The don't obey laws, they just enforce them.
