- NYPD policy statement on radio access is ‘vague’ and ‘a violation of the law’, say press advocates
Press advocates criticize the NYPD's proposed policy on encrypted radio access as 'vague' and violating Local Law 46, which mandates real-time access to non-sensitive police radio feeds for credentialed journalists. The NYPD's plan includes delayed broadcasts without specifying the delay, while Manhattan City Council Member Gale Brewer and media lawyer Robert Roth argue the policy fails to comply with the law and introduces unnecessary restrictions.
