NEW YORK (AP) — Many New York City police discipline records can be made public over the objections of unions, an appeals court ruled Tuesday in a decision praised by the city and civil rights lawyers as likely to improve the ability of the public to police its police department. The ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld a decision last year by Judge Katherine Polk Failla. Unions had opposed a new state transparency law on the grounds that it would unfairly taint the reputations of police officers, endangering them and affecting their future employment. Hank Sheinkopf, a spokesperson for the New York Law Enforcement Labor Coalition, said the unions will be reviewing all options, including appeals.

NEW YORK (AP) - Banyak catatan disiplin polisi Kota New York dapat dipublikasikan atas keberatan serikat pekerja, pengadilan banding yang memutuskan Selasa dalam keputusan yang dipuji oleh kota dan pengacara hak-hak sipil kemungkinan besar akan meningkatkan kemampuan publik untuk polisi departemen kepolisiannya. Putusan Pengadilan Banding Sirkuit AS ke-2 di Manhattan menguatkan keputusan tahun lalu oleh Hakim Katherine Polk Failla. Serikat pekerja telah menentang undang-undang transparansi negara bagian yang baru dengan alasan bahwa undang-undang tersebut secara tidak adil akan mencemari reputasi petugas polisi, membahayakan mereka dan mempengaruhi pekerjaan mereka di masa depan. Hank Sheinkopf, juru bicara Koalisi Buruh Penegakan Hukum New York, mengatakan serikat pekerja akan meninjau semua opsi, termasuk banding.
