As a resident of the city of Philadelphia, I can attest to the fact that tow tuck drivers are a problem in this city. Not all of them, mind you, but a lot of them. There was a recent incident (within the last couple of years) where 1 driver was run over by a rival. I've also seen on TV where they filmed in Philly and the guys acted like they had turf rights, nearly threatening the rivals. In Bucks County they have contracted towing outfits, and they are on a rotating "on call" schedule. Philly would be see a vast improvement in tow operations if they adopted a similar strategy.
I'd also like to add that the powers that be who are in charge of these digital radio systems have no clue. Go ahead and encrypt everything. You know what will happen? Hardcore listeners will buy ebay radios and illegally program them. Hackers will figure out the encryption keys. Radio techs will leak the keys. People will even steal radios from unattended vehicles, etc. You're never going to have 100% privacy. Someone will always figure out a way around it, legal or not. Is it right? Nope. But will people do it? You bet! They should stop trying to make all their radios private and learn to use things like, I dunno, the cellphones they all have on them, when they have sensitive info to pass along. And what the hell is so sensitive that they are talking about anyway? Government secrets? CIA stuff? Please, guys. It's not that big of a deal if someone hears you say you located a dead body on the 2nd floor of the fire building. I think i'm done my rant for the moment lol.
