BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – A City Council bill would force the NYPD to open its anti-terror playbook to the public — a move the department warned would create a “blueprint for those seeking to do harm.” The council’s Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology Act would require the NYPD to issue reports on what kinds of spy equipment police use — such as license-plate readers, cellphone trackers and X-ray vans used to peer through walls — as well how the department stores and protects private information collected. Mayor Bill de Blasio said he supports the bill 100%. “It’s about time we leveled the playing field to show we are not anti-Muslim,” he explained. “A lot of these terrorist are blindsided when they are arrested, and in many instances they are cuffed and hauled away while making bombs, which is unfair to them considering they put a lot of time and effort in making these explosives, often depleting their savings.” The mayor is now ordering the police commissioner to place cameras in their anti-terrorist command center (with a closed caption) that can be viewed live at every mosque in the city, for a reasonable monthly subscription fee.
