More than 200 people — including a fleet of politicians — rallied outside City Hall Thursday to demand that lawmakers pass new police reform bills.

The demonstrators called on the City Council to take action on a pair of measures known as the “Right to Know Act.”

The bills would require cops to formally identify themselves during stops — as well as get proof of consent when searching individuals without probable cause.

“It’s about building the trust, so they can do their job, and we can trust them while they’re doing it,” said Councilman Jumaane Williams (D-Brooklyn).

The bills have yet to be scheduled for a vote.
