Tapes
The NYPD
Tapes, the reporter who first broke the Schoolcraft story
brings his ongoing saga up to date, revealing the rampant abuses
that continue in the NYPD today, including warrantless surveillance
and systemic harassment. Through this lens, he tells the broader
tale of how American law enforcement has for the past thirty years
been distorted by a ruthless quest for numbers, in the form of
CompStat, the vaunted data-driven accountability system first
championed by New York police chief William Bratton and since
implemented in police departments across the country. Forced to
produce certain crime stats each quarter or face discipline, cops
in New York and everywhere else fudged the numbers, robbing actual
crime victims of justice and sweeping countless innocents into the
police net. Rayman paints a terrifying picture of a system gone
wild, and the pitiless fate of the whistleblower who tried to stop
it.
