Council Member Amanda Farias discusses the significance of the 'How Many Stops Act,' and balances the need for effective policing with the public's demand for accountability and oversight. Farias espouses the belief that the act is neither a hindrance to police work nor a danger to public safety, but rather an essential measure for sustaining community trust and safety.

She explains her vote in Spanish as well.

I, along with the majority of my colleagues, truly believe this bill satisfies both of those requirements.
1:53:10
This is why I will be voting yesterday.
