...Though as I said, it'll be some time before they ever find the dough for it and even longer to implement it.
Dont forget the reporters that corrected the S.B. Sheriff regarding the angels oaks shooting of that scum bag cop killer... Another reason they want encryption.
Well correct me if I am wrong but I don't think any solid reports have confirmed that he had a trunking capable scanner radio found at any of the locations where he was hiding out for a few days up in The City of Big Bear. Since he worked for LAPD in the past I believe he would of known how to monitor LAPD's conventional P25 system.
I don't believe you're wrong, but remember, at the time the event was occurring, it was a VERY REAL fear that he was monitoring.
That fear along will be enough to drive agencies toward encryption as the technology becomes available to them. If you can make a potential headache go away, call it a preemptive strike. The perception is out there that SOME criminals use scanners or streaming audio feeds. The solution is to make it impossible for ALL criminals to listen.
Like it or not, that's the mindset that's developing out there in the LE community.

Remember that one does not need a scanner to monitor a feed on one's smartphone.
With P25, there is no loss or degradation of signal. It's simply a matter of rearranging the 1's and 0's.
