There's plenty of evidence.
Please, cite your sources regarding how a "police scanner" has been involved in an incident involving the killing or harming of an officer. If you are talking about an online feed, there should only be dispatch. However, people have been sloppy when incidents have occurred and the online stream wasn't taken down. I am vehemently opposed to online scanning for obvious reasons.
When & if you cite sources, whether it be professional LE journals, etc. I am not impressed with blogs or unreliable sources of information.
Also, I would be very happy to share our little get together here in Waco with the Twin Peaks shootout between the Bandidos & a rival biker gang. It was in the clear, no officers were hurt, period.
Here is the real issue. Let's just test this idea. I challenge any LE agency to reverse encryption based on a mutual agreement to take down an online feed. Officers have asked for this to happen with certain online scanner services. When no cooperation occurred, they went "E." I can understand that & agree with LE.
If the LE agency has engaged in prevarication by stating online feeds threatened officer safety, they might have to admit to playing B.S. games with the public. If you want to drive a wedge between the public & LE, this is a perfect way to do it.
In Texas, we have the sense to be more selective about our encrypted channels. Our LE agencies want our help. They made a movie about our Sheriff who used to be a Texas Ranger.
