This is the thread for "everything NYPD encryption" which includes rants and raves.... That is the purpose of this thread... Why do you want to silence those you might not agree with?
Dude, relax.
Get off you high horse.

Can we just lock this thread as it’s gone the way of other encryption post’s on this board. We’ve delved into the why’s and why not’s which is moot and boring. Instead of reporting on what zones are in the clear and what zones are not.
No one's throwing money away.
We have financial backing of television networks, cable networks, radio networks, print media, neighborhood watch groups, community organizations, and of course we have the backing of the New York City council and New York State senatorial representation that is introducing a bill to make encryption in New York State illegal on police dispatch channels....
Legal representatives of these media firms are already involved
We're not worried.
I guess i just imagined when you news buffs had all over the reporting of the active shooter in maine last month - "they believe he is using police scanners to outmaneuver law enforcement"Clear comms on routine police dispatch frequencies are needed to ensure the transparency the public has a right to have. If interference from cheap radios is a problem then migrate to a digital trunking system.
The fact that police management hasn’t produced any cases where bad actors used real time police radio information to attempt to comment crimes, tells us that encrypting is not a benefit because it does not prevent crime. Encryption will not stop crimes of passion (murder rape assault etc). Theft of property were you hope to get away with something is the only area that a bad actor might want a police scanner’s help, but we all know that the police are not giving away their whereabouts and there could be units that don’t identify themselves unless they need to. Critical Thinking is needed here to combat the unsubstantiated claims that police brass use to defend encryption.

Or the college shooter before that - a quote from the media "its a shame that the public can easily hear these frightening reports on the police radios"
Those who live in their own self interests hide behind trigger words like transparency... until the above happens...
Not your licensed frequency, not your right to say what happens with it...
Like I said.... Nothing wrong with encrypted tac channels, for sensitive communications....Amen brother.

Brother.....
Your oversimplified description of police radio communications, and the situation at hand is interesting....
Not so sure about that my friend. I've been working with communications systems, and local police departments since since the early '70s.I have forgotten more about radio communications, police work and police radio communications then you may have ever known.

I'll take @ff026's experience and knowledge over just about anyone's around here. Some guys talk the talk, other guys like @ff026 and @APX8000 have walked the walk for a long time. Yes, they have both forgotten more about real world law enforcement and communications related to that job than some of the chronic posters will ever really understand. It's easy to opine from the outside looking in.Not so sure about that my friend. I've been working with communications systems, and local police departments since since the early '70s.
Whats so funny Mr apx8000?Not so sure about that my friend. I've been working with communications systems, and local police departments since since the early '70s.
Easy to say when you have no knowledge of anyone elses history in police commsI'll take @ff026's experience and knowledge over just about anyone's around here.
