Governor Hochul vetoed a bill to make police radio feeds publicly accessible, citing safety risks.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul vetoed a bill requiring police departments to keep radio communications publicly accessible, citing public safety risks from exposing sensitive information like undercover officers' locations or officials' movements.
The legislation aimed to increase transparency and support media coverage of emergencies, but Hochul argued real-time access could endanger lives and that existing protocols already allow for selective release of audio.
The veto halts efforts to reverse encryption of police radio feeds, despite support from some lawmakers and media outlets.
The decision reflects ongoing tension between accountability and operational security.
