NYPD curbs get panel OK

TWO HOT-BUTTON police reform bills passed a City Council committee Monday — setting them up for final approval Tuesday despite a backlash from both sides.

The police legislation, dubbed the Right to Know Act, would require cops to identify themselves with a business card during many street stops, and another bill says cops must tell people they have a right to refuse some searches and get proof of their consent.

The bills had been bottled up for years, but a deal was struck last week between Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito (photo), the de Blasio administration and the NYPD on a compromise version.

Yet key advocacy groups that had pushed the Right to Know Act pulled their support for the identification bill, saying the final version was full of loopholes and would not cover many stops, while police unions have complained it would it makes cops’ jobs harder.
