  New York state lawmakers have passed a bill to preserve media access to police radio feeds as law enforcement agencies increasingly encrypt their communications.

The bill's passage comes amid a national trend of police departments encrypting their communications to prevent criminals from intercepting sensitive information, but it also sparked debates about balancing security with press freedom and public accountability.
