Raised concerns about practical implementation, noting busy police departments may struggle to comply and that the bill could create friction between officers and victims. Questioned whether the bill adequately addresses the distinction between assault (which requires physical injury) and harassment, and whether victims might refuse further investigation if they know about the option.

Expressed concerns about voter confusion from multiple contradictory proposals on a single ballot, citing past election confusion. Questioned whether there is adequate voter education funding and whether boards of elections have capacity to handle multiple proposals without fiscal impact.

Expressed concerns about voter confusion when contradictory proposals appear on the same ballot, citing the 2023 election experience. Questioned whether adequate safeguards exist to clarify competing measures and suggested a more balanced charter commission process with representation from multiple city officials.

Raised concerns that realtime access without delay could endanger officers by alerting criminals to police movements, and could create panic from unconfirmed emergency reports that prevent first responders from accessing incident scenes.

Expressed concern about public safety risks from real-time disclosure, particularly regarding emergency response when public knowledge of incidents could block emergency vehicles. Urged the Governor to amend the bill to include a 10-minute delay if it reaches the Senate.

Appreciated the intent but argued the bill goes too far and will not translate to real-world effectiveness. Expressed concern about spontaneous utterances and impact on accountability, predicting the legislature will need to amend the law later as with prior criminal justice reforms.

Voted in the negative because the bill does not amend to add another judge for Richmond County.

While gun violence is a public nuisance, the real technical amendments needed are to prior laws like Raise the Age and bail reform. Sixteen and seventeen-year-olds in possession of firearms go to family court, which should be addressed through technical amendments to improve safety.

Gun violence is attributed to sales and manufacturing, but the real public nuisance stems from laws passed by this body regarding bail reform and Raise the Age. Technical amendments should address those issues, such as allowing 16 and 17-year-olds charged with firearm possession to be tried in family court rather than criminal court.

Criticized lack of designated fund for speed camera violation fines and cautioned police officers about CCRB violations from toll evasion enforcement, warning of disproportionate application in communities.

Raised concerns about ambiguity in Mayoral Control changes, criticized lack of designated fund for speed camera violation fines, and cautioned police officers about potential CCRB violations from toll evasion plate removal enforcement.

Orders of Protection escalate future interactions to felony contempt charges, ensuring victim safety and opening offenders to rehabilitation services. Without the ability to ensure offenders pursue services, victim protection efforts are undermined.

Cited NYC data showing 2,250 pedestrian injuries from reckless bicycling between 2011-2019 and eight deaths. Warned bike messengers will not perform the Idaho Stop and will treat all lights the same, endangering pedestrians in bike lanes with specific signals.

New York City's speed camera program expanded from 20 to 2,500 cameras before the pilot program was complete, with poor transparency and flawed tickets. Cameras self-calibrate daily without human verification, unlike police officers who testify to camera operation. The program has become a revenue generator.

New York City's identical 2014 program expanded from half-hour before/after school to quarter-mile circumference from schools, preschools, and daycare centers. Speed limits dropped from 30 to 25 mph with legislation to lower to 20 mph. All revenue goes to general fund, not school safety. Inadequate signage and no special fund for safety improvements.

Warned that NYC's similar program, which began in 2014 with limited scope, has expanded to 2,500 schools with cameras operating up to a quarter-mile away, while speed limits decreased and fines increased, with revenue flowing to the general fund rather than school safety improvements.

Argued the Model Policy already exists and the bill addresses urgency over one incident when the Legislature should focus on other laws addressing multiple incidents related to crime.
