they sayed the suspect may have Scanner!! hearing Them talking
Well isn''t that just peachy.
It goes without saying that this type of operation should be encrypted for tactical/strategic reasons not to mention
officer and
hostage safety. But by "broadcasting" and ADVERTISING it online we are sending, literally around the world, a gold-plated invitation for all law enforcement agencies to follow Orange Co CA and Pasadena CA police and simply encrypt everything.
Seems to me that the RadioReference TOS don't allow this kind of operation to be streamed or the contents to be published "live" here, play-by-play, but even if they do, common sense sure doesn't.
