Bushwick is prime stop and frisk territory. Out of the 123 precincts in the five boroughs of New York City, Bushwick is #11 on the list of highest number of stop and frisks. And when you’re looking specifically at the borough of Brooklyn, Bushwick comes in at #4, only behind two precincts in East New York and one precinct in Williamsburg. The Community Safety Act has the potential to bring permanent improvements to the way the NYPD handles stop and frisk and larger NYPD practices in general. The act consists of two bills – an anti-discriminatory bill that provides an enforcement mechanism to illegal profiling and an inspector general bill that will  provide independent oversight and recommendations for the NYPD. The two bills passed the New York City Council. However, in late July, Bloomberg vetoed both bills, meaning the New York Council will have to vote on them again on August 22 with a two-thirds majority in order for the bills to go into law.
