Critics say encryption is an ‘attack on transparency’, and that radio monitoring is one of the few ways to keep track of the police

    Denver did this a few years back and it sucks! I am surprised NYPD has not done so already.

      And neo-nazis, it seems. That’s what the PDs are filled with.

      I thought all PDs in the US had been doing this for decades.

        Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s the reason police scanners exist.

        After 9/11 there was a government move to centralize communication among first responders. Lots of money allocated for new digital encrypted radio.

          I thought this went further back to like ~98 and lawsuits around “export grade” encryption and the NSA was partnering with cell phone providers.

            Rumor Control: there are 5 levels of encryption on a digital GSM over air call. It’s pretty much bullet proof. But, you can trick the phone or like the NSA get the call straight from the switch.

            I remember that… Funny how you don’t really hear about that anymore. Hunh.

              That’s because they’ve relaxed on it a bunch. Also, the stuff they were pushing in the 90s really wasn’t secure.

              There was a Darknet Diaries episode that covered a lot of this, but I can’t remember which one.

      The public record of public servants should not be encrypted in a free nation.

      That includes their speech and actions and the tools they use to disseminate them.

      This isn’t hard.

      NYPD prefers to investigate itself.

        NYPD prefers to riot in the street than accept any oversight it doesnt want.
