Am I misunderstanding something here or does this imply that up until now the city of NYC did not have full access and transparency concerning the capacities of the NYPD?
How is this even a thing? I don't know much about the US political system but how is it that the police is not entirely subjected to civic government and why does a law need to be passed to control what the NYPD does?

There's likely some earlier law passed by the same body directing the NYPD to have a policy, or carry out an activity, without the specific requirement for the information.
