Senator Becker re-introduces law enforcement radio encryption bill (SB 719)

[bharvey2]

Not all info needs to be made public. Local fire agency had an issue where a person died and before proper notifications could be done, some "person" with a scanner posted all the information to social media.

Issue wasn't so much lack of encryption, but one idiot that didn't think about what they were doing and how it would impact the family. But the fire agency shouldn't have to worry if there's some dumb@$$ listening or not. Easy to just fix the issue once and for all.

Thank you local scanner/social media guys for that.

I hadn't planned to comment on this thread as it's been re-hashed so many times but this is just the type of bonehead move that might lead agencies to gravitate to encryption in the first place.
