I always wonder , if those that dont seem to mind public services they pay for,.. going encrypted ,..are not to concerned because they themselves have managed to get a radio just like their local agencies use & have it programmed to get on the system & avoid detection, of course who would admit that ,....
Or perhaps they work for said agency ,..
It could also be denial ,...the old "It hasn't happened to me yet , so its not going to ,..& if it ever does there's so much to listen to like....taxis ...& drive through windows...."
How else could you really be in this hobby & not be concerned about powerful agencies you pay for , operating in secret
It seems there is always going to be those that try to make light of those concerned about the issue
Maybe if debates on weather publicly paid services should be able to operate under full encryption
could have gotten somewhere in the early days , & while it does seem futile now to stand up & say anything
I think thats why it is so easy to implement for them in the first place , because the public is so uneducated on the issue
& scared of speaking out, believes what they are told ,So there never has been any unified voice with numbers to oppose it,...So pretty much they just do what they want & laugh at how complacent we are .
Can anything be done about it? I really don't know but its moving like a wave across North America
& sooner or later I could see all public service off limits
But I think one should not be angry at those with the "who cares " type views , all it shows is that perhaps they
don't understand the issue & its implications well enough to have concern .
