FW LE Monitoring, RIP?
I am very disappointed in hearing that FW is starting to encrypt everything for the PD based on what I'm seeing in the RR DB. I am hoping that this will eventually change. Part of me says, "this might be due to the installation stage." Sometimes, when radios go down into the tunnel, they sound a bit like encryption.
I wonder whether the live feeds, making scanning available to the general public, weighted in the decision to go "E?" Did FW ever report arresting someone for using smart phone applications in the commission of a crime? Or, did someone get arrested with a digital scanner during the commission of a crime? I know LE can make the decision to encrypt without any sound reason, but I was wondering whether something prompted this decision.
If this is a permanent situation, I won't be traveling through or visiting FW anymore. Part of the fun of traveling is listening to radio traffic. Fort Worth was one of the most entertaining.
