I appreciate your comment, but your reasoning is as flawed as all the powers that be around the country citing "officer or Fire safety " as the reasoning. It's simply untrue.
There are MANY sheriff's and departments around the country who are against this and of course not even thier opinions carry weight. There has been.one recently ehere the HEAD sheriff of the county had no idea it was even coming and his thoughts and actions meant nothing. Its nit something beimg voted on, its sunply being pussed thru the system. I'd love to see one case of officer or fire safety being jeopardized as the direct result of soneome using a scanner and going to a scene and commiting a crime or harming first repsponders. There aren't any! Plain and simple. that's why. Yet the powers that be will push these encryption deals thru despite what some want or even the thoughts of the actual Sheriff in charge. When there is a huge push to cover up the daily activities of said departments and you take away transparency there is a bigger problem. There have been encrypted "tac" and "ops" channels for years that work just fine and yet for some reason there is a large national push for encryption across the board. Makes one wonder why.
