NYPD releases social media video touting success of Drake at the Apollo
NEW YORK -- Questions were raised earlier this week after the NYPD was seen filming people leave the Drake concert at the Apollo Theater.
Now, we're getting answers.
Mayor Eric Adams says police were not using facial recognition on concert goers. He says they were simply making a social media video.
