And I will address this that question first and then your larger point after.
2:25:10
At the New York City Police Department, we have to address public safety concerns.
2:25:15
We have to we have to uphold our laws and enforce our laws.
2:25:21
And so some of those can be felonies, misdemeanors, violations.
2:25:27
It's it is what we have to do.
2:25:31
And as it relates to e bikes, the only option that we have at this time that is viable and meaningful is issuing sea summons.
2:25:42
I do hope and expect that the council is gonna work to create a new framework to govern e bikes so that the sea summons won't be our only viable option.
2:25:53
But right now it is.
2:25:54
And as we uphold all of these laws, like, are there potential downstream consequences?
2:26:01
Certainly.
2:26:02
But the NYPD does not engage in civil immigration enforcement period.
