New York Civil Liberties Union executive director Donna Lieberman joined WBAI’s Max & Murphy Show on Wednesday for a special Independence Day Eve discussion of where civil liberties stand in New York City.

‘If the bill becomes law, drivers across the state would be faced with the choice of surrendering their license, or giving police officers access to sensitive personal information contained on their phones, all without a warrant.’
A city councilmember and civil-liberties lawyer discuss a move to increase oversight of the growing array of eavesdropping technologies employed by local law enforcement.
