i have been a radio hobbyist for 30 years.
you, as a citizen, need to make your local officials think
before they digitize & encrypt everything public employees
say on a publicly paid for radio
many scanner radio hobbyist listen to public service agencies to gain a sense
of community & to be observant.
i do not believe the argument that criminals listen to scanners in the
commission of a crime (to any large degree).
i see no logical reason to encrypt routine dispatch traffic which completely
discounts the value of an informed citizenry & promotes an even more
isolated police culture. think about it.
they will not think of this on their own...you must point it out.
if we don't establish guidelines now the ability to monitor your public
servants will be gone forever...& they may no longer be public servants.
