New York City council member Yusef Salaam, a member of the exonerated Central
Park Five, says he was unjustly pulled over by police while driving with his
family in Harlem on Friday night.

Mr Salaam said in a statement that the NYPD officer refused to explain why he
had been pulled over, and that he was backing out of a planned ride along with
police and Mayor Eric Adams on Saturday night in protest.




“Last night, while driving with my wife and children and listening in to a call
with my Council colleagues on speakerphone, I was pulled over by an NYPD officer
in my beloved Village of Harlem within the 28th Precinct,” Mr Salaam said in a
statement on Saturday 27 January.



“I introduced myself as Councilman Yusef Salaam, and subsequently asked the
officer why I was pulled over. Instead of answering my question, the officer
stated, ‘We’re done here,’ and proceeded to walk away.”



Mr Salaam spent nearly seven years in prison after being falsely convicted along
with four other teenagers of the 1989 rape of a female jogger in Central Park,
in a notorious miscarriage of justice depicted in the 2019 Netflix drama When
They See Us.

explain why he was pulled over

(Associated Press)

He was elected to the city council in November and appointed chair of
the Committee on Public Safety which oversees the NYPD earlier this month.



Mr Salaam has been outspoken in his criticism of Mr Adams for vetoing  the “How
Many Stops Act”, which would require NYPD officers to publicly report on all
investigative stops, including low-level encounters with civilians.

He said his encounter with police illustrated why greater transparency around
how the NYPD conducts police stops was needed.



“The fact that the officer did not provide a rationale for the stop calls into
question how the NYPD justifies its stops of New Yorkers and highlights the need
for greater transparency to ensure they are constitutional,” Mr Salaam said.

“This experience only amplified the importance of transparency for all police
investigative stops, because the lack of transparency allows racial profiling
and unconstitutional stops of all types to occur and often go unreported.”



Mr Salaam was one of several council members who had agreed to to attend a ride
along with NYPD officers in Harlem on Saturday night to see how officers
interacted with the public.

He said the police encounter, “coupled with the lack of logistical details
provided” by Mr Adams’ office about the ride along caused him to back out.

He said he planned to “organically develop constructive relationships” with the
police precincts in his Harlem district.



“Many of us in the Council know what it’s like to feel vulnerable and powerless
when stopped by an officer, because we have personally experienced triggering
interactions like I had last night,” the lawmaker added.



“It is our duty as public servants to collect the data necessary to determine
the pervasiveness of these stops, and solutions to build the trust necessary to
make our neighborhoods safer.”

The NYPD and the mayor’s office did not immediately respond to The Independent’s
requests for comment.
