NYC contact tracers were forbidden to ask if people attended a protest
Refusing to collect that data point is completely understandable from a public health standpoint. There is substantiated concern that people may end up on cop shitlists for attending a protest, we know that there is police overreach, and the only way to keep the pigs out of the trough is not providing it at all. NYPD is notoriously corrupt. If any single person ended up being harassed by the cops as a result for telling the truth no one will ever work with a contact tracer again.
Sad that the cops can't restrain themselves in a time of public emergency but that's the reality we live in.
