Days after New York City limited library services as part of a massive budget cut, effectively forcing public libraries to close on Sundays, the New York Police Department (NYPD) announced that it will spend $390 million on a new radio system that will encrypt officers' radio communication.
Press freedom activists have said that these new encryption policies undermine the media's ability to inform the public on breaking news and the public's ability to hold police accountable for misconduct.
"This is a free press issue, a public safety issue, and a government transparency issue," said Holden.
