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?

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

>>psycho+Ns
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.

>>nojito+Fu
No the costs of hosting the data is not the reason they hide it.

>>syshum+nw
What other possible reasons could they have other than hosting costs? /sarcasm

You’d think we as a society figured out hosting costs ...

Any quote on what the cost of hosting is and if it can be crowd funded? Technically speaking, their whole institution is crowd funded so I don’t know where they get the autonomy to decide jack shit.
