Living in Buffalo, the recent incident between protester Martin Gugino and the Buffalo PD has been a big story. I have no stance to take on the police action here, but have a question about "NFC Hacking".
Some conservative outlets are suggesting that Gugino was trying to do an "NFC Hack" with his phone against something on the officer. See this video. It does appear that is the case to me. I don't understand what that is but I've read it has to do with getting personal info and maybe affecting police communication somehow.
My question is, would the police move to encryption to prevent NFC hacking? Is NFC hacking related to what we listen to on scanners? Can anyone explain what is going on here? I'd hate to see encryption happen because of this type of incident.
