一名纽约州参议员提议隐藏警方纪律记录,引发对透明度和问责制降低的反弹。 A NY senator proposes hiding police disciplinary records, sparking backlash over reduced transparency and accountability.

George Floyd死后, 纽约废除了隐藏警方纪律记录、提高透明度的法律, Following nationwide calls for police accountability after George Floyd’s death, New York repealed a law hiding police disciplinary records, boosting transparency. 然而,一名布法罗地区共和党参议员的新法案旨在将此类记录重新定性为保密记录,除非法官允许查阅,对可能保护官员不受审查的批评,限制媒体查阅,削弱公共监督。 However, a new bill by a Buffalo-area Republican senator aims to reclassify such records as confidential unless a judge allows access, drawing criticism for potentially shielding officers from scrutiny, limiting media access, and weakening public oversight. 尽管各部门根据旧法律处理不当行为的方式不一致,但最近对10 000多份纪律档案的审查显示,普遍没有追究官员的责任。 Despite inconsistencies in how departments handled misconduct under the old law, recent reviews of over 10,000 disciplinary files revealed widespread failures to hold officers accountable. 批评者警告说,后退准入可能破坏进展,妨碍查明有问题官员的努力,并削弱社区对执法的信任。 Critics warn that rolling back access could undermine progress, hinder efforts to identify problematic officers, and erode community trust in law enforcement.
