Thats what happens when live events are put on Facebook for everyone to hear including the bad guys in real time. People wonder why encryption is implented. Thanks to Shari Telman, who has nothing better to that do but put police calls on Facebook Live. I wonder if Ms. Telman is making a quick buck from ads being sold on her Facebook page. Well 8k folks better have a different hobby now.
Telman pointed out access to the police channels also "can prevent the spread of gossip and unfounded accusations against individuals or the police". Thought I heard all of them, but this one takes the cake.

The art of deception is in effect. As of today the talkgroups still in the open..

I was listening Tuesday morning. Scott County Sheriff's Department was the only agency I never heard. I did hear Scott County tone Eldridge fire early morning around 9-10am. It was a test page, they said they are testing the tone to make sure everything worked fine cause SCSO just switched over to a new system.

I've been running a Broadcastify stream for RACOM for 10 years. The recent switch to the SARA network required a hardware upgrade, but everything is still operational. The only difference is that previously encrypted (ProVoice) channels are no longer encrypted, for now.
We keep hearing that they are going to encrypt, but officers and state troopers I'm friends with thought it already did because their scanners suddenly "don't work". Problem is, they haven't had their scanners programmed for SARA, and many of them don't have Simulcast compatible scanners.
