Why go backwards?
In a few years they will have to do some sort of upgrade, I would guess a TDMA system like New Brittan with 100% encryption like they do now.
Remember we have no real need to listen to live PD traffic, We have a want but no need.
I like the idea of all public safety communications being encrypted and have delayed feeds so we can listen, That way everyone wins, they get what they want and we get what we want, We have no reason to listen live so 60 min delayed would be fine.

...and that has been going on for well over 30 years... really nothing new. Go to "Any City USA" and (if available) turn on a "records" channel/talkgroup and you will hear information all day long.
With the widespread use of MDT's, it less of a problem, but nothing that hasn't been done since NCIC/NLETS and radio has been around.

Typically social security numbers are no longer used to try to identify a person, and typically state databases for license searches cannot be performed by just a SSN.
Federal and state warrant databases can typically be searched if the persons SSN is known when a warrant or missing person's SSN was entered.
So in reality, in the past and in today's world, typically a DL# or name and DOB is all that is required.
