New York police have used 50-a to shield abusive officers and departments from public scrutiny by hiding outcomes of disciplinary trials, names of officers involved in police misconduct, body camera footage, and even basic data on use of force incidents. In fact, the public only saw the judge’s decision in the trial of Daniel Pantaleo (the officer responsible for Eric Garner’s killing) because it was leaked to the press.

Kyoko Heshiimu: “My hopes for this exhibit is to open a dialogue about the overall impact that these tragedies have on not only the victims but the families and communities as a whole.

“Justice requires transparency. There is no legitimate law enforcement reason why — five years later — Mr. Garner’s family, criminal justice advocates and the public do not have the fundamentally important information we seek today,” said Alvin Bragg, Co-Director of the New York Law School Racial Justice Project, Visiting Professor of Law at New York Law School, and former Chief Deputy New York State Attorney General.
