Trump visited Grand rapids Michigan recently and I noticed that state police and other security were on a clear statewide talkgroup that is streamed to broadcastify.
I'm sure the secret service has their own encrypted radios, and I did confirm that RIDs from the two clear statewide event channels did also use an encrypted channel. However, the topics discussed on the clear channels were still seemingly sensitive enough that I honestly don't think it should be broadcasted online.
They discussed locations to be searched, conversations with the TOC, Bearcats, escorts, etc.
How should this be addressed? There's no certain way to know what events use what talkgroups and when. I'm all for transparency and access, but I also understand the concept of encryption and when it is most appropriate, especially given recent incidents....
Should there be a way to selectively censor that kind of traffic from broadcastify?
