Will Harlem Councilman Yusef Salaam stand up against the NYPD-paperwork bill that harms public safety?

As Mayor Adams tees up to veto the lunatic NYPD paperwork bill passed by the City Council late last year, will the new chair of the Public Safety Committee stand up for safety and let the law die?

Freshman Harlem Councilman Yusef Salaam was just named chairman of the Council’s Public Safety Committee, which oversees the NYPD, among other agencies.

Salaam, who was exonerated in the notorious 1989 Central Park jogger-rape case, said after his insurgent primary victory last year that he was ready to work with the NYPD to keep the streets of Harlem safer.

“Most people would think that I would be pro-defund [the police], but the truth of the matter is we need police,” Salaam, 50, told The Post then.

Now he must ask himself: How does this bill make Harlem safer? It doesn’t.

The measure mandates that cops complete detailed paperwork for every single person they come across during a probe, including noting down everyone’s race, age and gender, and to record all street stops — even the low-level ones.
