We're representing an individual recently arrested by the NYPD. One of the things our client told us was that prior to his arrest, the NYPD came to his door more than once late last year and tried to engage him in conversation and twice asked to search his home. Our client unequivocally denied consent for such searches. Your supervisor wants you to help follow up on this point. GGementioned that there was a new NYC law from last year that apparently requires the NYPD to document denials of consent searches? Another intern found the relevant section its in the NYC Administrative Code in section (b)(2) of 14-173. As it is new, this law does not appear to have been litigated much, and your supervisor would like to find out everything we can about the passage of this law.
Can you find the legislative history of this law - you don't need to dig in, but find the page and email me a link or a screenshot?
