Molly Griffard – Legal Fellow at the Legal Aid Society’s Cop Accountability Project – appeared on the Capitol Pressroom to discuss the recent repeal of 50-a, what had essentially amounted to a secrecy law that had been use to shield NYPD officers from the consequences of their misconduct. The repeal was passed by an overwhelming majority last week and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, heralding a new era of transparency where substantiated instances of misbehavior, disciplinary records, and internal reviews will be made available by Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
