I could comment, but what's the point?
No disparagement intended against you personally, KK4JUG. It just struck me as funny.
Last of the scanners: Are police security measures and new technologies killing an American obsession?

Cut him some slack. He articulated his viewpoint well and disagrees. I respect the way he chose to extricate himself from the conversation. Too many people these days double and triple down, making personal attacks on the way out. He did none of that.

The RCMP station where i live in B.C has gone encrypted for a number of years, however there are a bunch of RCMP detachments in B.C that are still unencrypted. Been debating if i wanted to get a P25 scanner or just a regular scanner for my birthday.

Sorry, mom.

You're absolutely right, Hans. Couldn't agree more.Cut him some slack. He articulated his viewpoint well and disagrees. I respect the way he chose to extricate himself from the conversation.

Couldn’t and I’ve been reading elsewhere about encryption also being switched back to unencrypted? Now don’t burn here but isn’t it possible to remain transparent because of encryption that systems switch back ? I also feel down the road a voice will be heard . Maybe register radios like guns . Let those without a felony have access to scanning ? Makes sense to me
Absolutely not. Nope. Nope. Nope.
And, what about those places, like where I live, that firearms aren't registered? Radios will be but firearms will not?

I wish I knew if more people around my age that were into scanners.
Are you a ham? If not you might consider getting your license. That's a great way to meet folks of all ages, who are into radios of every description.
I started around age 12 or so...

I hope there is a comeback. I would hate for the title of this thread to fully come to pass ...

Maybe, but I think some in this thread are more to blame.

I have no doubt about that. Other than specific communications such as detectives and gang units, there is really no legitimate reason (in MY mind) for why general, routine dispatch and "tac" communications should be encrypted.
I see absolutely NO legitimate reason for the encryption of Fire channels.
