Most everything that isn't a matter of injury or death is.Actually I'm amazed all dispatching isn't done through MDT. The info could go out over MDT and then keep comm in the clear.

You dont need a scanner to know about EMS or fire calls. People that are already watching have posted in on FB and Instagram to way more people then even thought of owning a scanner. Your modern day rubbernecker or fake newscaster is just watching his iphone notifications not running around with a $700 scanner. So I guess I still have questions. Lol.FD needs encryption to kill off the retards that come to do fake newscasts and only post negative things, get in the way, and yell insults etc. FD needs encryption to kill off rubbernecking retards. FD needs encryption so they can roll up on a mass shooting and not be targeted. And the biggest one that is the main one: FD needs encryption because the Legal Team of Takinyomoney & Gettinfat Wallet say its needed. That one also applies to all ER/ED, and EMS comms. If you still have questions, then you need to reread this over and over til it sinks in.
Read it again.... you still skipped the main reason.You dont need a scanner to know about EMS or fire calls.

A local social media news guy locally has 100'S of followers that tip him to anything interesting.
The legal team part? What do you mean? Elaborate please.Read it again.... you still skipped the main reason.
GREAT POINT. I need to get back into that!Well I still listen to my DX-380 shortwave radio every day.

If an agency's legal department says to go E due to any of the aforementioned fallacies of HIPAA etc... That department will go E. The fear of a perceived future battle in court that could cost millions is all it takes. Facts do not matter. Once a group in suites and ties that is legal, puts fear of loss of money in the other group of suites and ties that is leadership then job is done.The legal team part? What do you mean?

Ah ok. Good point. My ending thought is just how many malicious people are spending $700 on scanners? Such a small percentage own these scanners anyway. That on top of malice is just so few.If an agency's legal department says to go E due to any of the aforementioned fallacies of HIPPA etc... That department will go E.

Don't doubt lawyers have scanners buy how Does one come up with that statistic?1/3 the Lawyers in my area have a scanner IT IS HOW THEY MAKE THEIR MONEY.
So there are only 9 lawyers where you live? There is so much wrong with all this. Lol. First off, are they not real bright? I would think with all that schooling they could learn to operate a scanner and second of all they are paying someone "well" to program it! Just messin with ya.They bring them to me to program and I get paid a nice fee.
3 I went to school with when we were children.
Agreed, you have to be able to sale it, and be able to make money on it...If the scanner market goes away, it won’t be due to recalls or R&D costs.
This topic could go on forever. My simple thought's are although E. was around before 9-11, 9-11 basically sealed the E deal. Agencies could give a flying crap about what the monitoring public think's, and there are too few of us to make a difference. A few people in the public safety sector lose out to E., including paid & vol's who do not have a take home radio. I do have to say thought that almost every police officer I ever talked to, said they never even turn on their radio,off duty. Not the same for firefighter's.
