@nowthisimpact: NYC Council Member Yusef Salaam of the 'Exonerated Five' was shocked to be pulled over on January 26 for seemingly no reason. The officer let him go, later stating it was because his window tinting was above the legal limit. On January 30, the New York City Council voted 42-9 overriding Mayor Eric Adam’s veto for the How Many Stops Act. #NYC #yusefsalaam #exnoratedfive #mayorericadams
He gave up because none of his excuses would’ve worked on the councilman

They should have to announce their reason for the stop immediately.

the immediate "have a good one" was proof that there was no reason to pull him over in the first place.

Honestly the fact he just left after realising he was a district member is worst. He should’ve said something then about the tint and then apologise

The office knew who he was, heard him say his name, and dipped. Seems like the office was profiling them!

Even if he is a council member he isn't immune to tickets, so he was actually stopped for DWB

I could be wrong but the officer sounds like he was about to explain why, before he got cut off by the councilman's announcement

This man served countless years locked up while he was innocent , the least the cop could do was let him go !!!

There needs to be a federal mandate amongst police departments to state the reason of either detainment or traffic stop immediately

I feel police should do as much paperwork as doctors. if doctors has to document transparency, so does police.

the cop walked away because council members are well connected, any ticket given would’ve bounced back. he saw it as a threat

What’s hard to understand I thought the cop pulled him over for the tints but after figuring out he’s a council member he knew he could have tints so left. That dude is tripping bro
