Gov. Kathy Hochul conceded Friday that there is nothing to prevent New York City subway users from opting for another station to avoid undergoing bag checks
Governor Kathy Hochul, shown with MTA Chair Janno Lieber, announced on March 6, 2024 a multi-pronged battle plan against transit crime, including adding hundreds of National Guard and MTA Police officers into the system to conduct bag checks. in the system, amid a, following her move on Wednesday to deploy 750 national guard members and 250 state and MTA police officers into the city’s transit system to assist the NYPD with random bag checks.
“This is not heavy-handed … it is nowhere near where stop and search was, a policy I did not support because it was targeting individuals particularly from communities of color,” she continued. “We’re not ever going back to that. That’s why this is statistically random.” “If you’re someone who’s thinking of bringing a gun on the subway, you might think twice,” Hochul said. “And that’s what this is about, to get the psychology of the criminals to say, I think I won’t do this because I have a better chance of getting caught now. It’s a deterrent effect.”
The New York Civil Liberties Union called the governor’s move “heavy-handed” and said it harkens back to the broken-windows policing era of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said more policing is not the best way to address violence in the subways.
