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?

Police have their hooks in every level of government. Police unions have very large coffers and money talks.

This is never the case. The issue is almost always due to the costs of hosting and making available the data.

Look up the open justice initiative in California.

If that were really the case they would just make you go in person and pay for a print out
