Also, try writing letters to your local newspaper RE their ability or inability to monitor routine comms, this is for public informatioin!(like local crimes, burglaries, etc). Can they receive routine calls while monitoring? Even contact your local grand jury(which I did) to see if these extra funds are really worthwhile to spend, and in so doing, less to pay for more uniformed cops on the street? Did our police chiefs ever hear of a city/coutny budget? Like our Calif budget and cutbacks...........
