Many people are posting messages that seem to say - ' we must end all scanner feeds or the police will encrypt everything '.
There are other options.
1. Ask your local media to put up scanner feeds. (See wickedlocal.com in Boston Mass area as an example)
2. Ask the local public safety agencies to put up scanner feeds.
3. Ask the politicians to pass laws to keep encryption in check.
4. Ask civil rights lawyers to get involved. The Boston federal district court recently told the public that it is the public's job to monitor the police. (the case about videoing cops making arrests)
5. Ask the politicians to pass laws requiring all safety agencies to put scanner streams online.
6. Elect only politicians who are pro openness.
7. Ask the media to run stories highlighting the critical nature of open scanning.
8. Ask the media to put pressure on politicians to keep scanning open.
