Donna Lieberman saying this “effectively deputizes” private citizens . . . . No, asking people to call in tips and making video clips available for police to look at is not “deputizing” anyone.

Ah. I subscribe to both so I wasn’t aware.

I don't understand the racial profiling concern. Users can post clips of crimes and NYPD can access those. What's the problem with that? How does video evidence of a crime cause racial profiling? If I take video of someone stealing a package, and I give that to the police, is that causing racial profiling?
And NYPD can ask for footage and tips on the app. They already do that today. How does police asking for tips cause racial profiling? What am I missing?
To me this just sounds like a higher-tech version of the argument that people shouldn't call 911 because it increases policing.

Google “how to bypass paywall” and you’ll never need to ask that question again.

Why do you think that?
Just a downvote? No response?

Few things in journalism are worse than paraphrasing of allegations from a complaint.

I’m just tossing in a gratuitous joke about the reflexive invocation of induced demand.

We should remove some bike lanes—it will reduce bike traffic!

They didn’t publish the name because they didn’t have the name. The group wouldn’t release it.

Or even the person’s name. (Which means Gothamist couldn’t have verified the story is even true.)
>A staffer for a street safety advocacy group was struck by a driver in Brooklyn . . . .
>A spokesperson for the group did not release the cyclist’s name, but said he was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. It was an example of the dangerous state of the city’s streets the event aimed to highlight.

Luckily cyclist deaths from cars are extremely rare in NYC.

Can the mods please articulate what kind of posts that “relate to crime” are allowed on the main sub and which should be posted in the crime thread? It’s not at all clear.

Appreciate the engagement. I will try to dig into this later. But what is your source for the amount raised by the PTAs? Can you link it?

Should I report crimes? That’s giving more data to cops. It’s also talking to the police.
