I’m surprised the NYPD hasn’t done this a long time ago. Nearly every police department around me has been encrypted for years and they are a fraction of the size of the NYPD.

I have an Uniden SDS 100 handheld scanner and listen to Fire Departments in the area, which are usually not encrypted.

No description of the bad guys. Discrimination and civil rights lawsuits coming.

From Inuit citizens and other Aleut speakers in NY.

Don’t take it the wrong way but some other people use them for defense against law enforcement.

My late mother used to have a similar one. She was mostly, in some ways, law abiding, sort of.

When Glenn Beck interviewed Bill O’Reilly he said “Bill, do you intend to follow the new law mandating masks?”
O’Reilly: “No. I only wear a mask when robbing a 7-11.”

The bad guys are community organizers and city hall.

Oh.....
Now I get it.

Domestic terrorists and patriots trying for free speech and individual rights. Clear and present danger.

They are the ones who stake their lively hood on making everything political.

That’s not really the reason, is it.

Yes, and thieves are just doing redistribution of wealth.

> police radios are converted into encrypted channels <

Good idea. However, government secrecy should be minimized. All police transmissions should be available to the public - in the clear - after a reasonable amount of time. 48 hours should be enough. Post them on the police department’s website.

Every department around us has gone digital and scrambled.

It make my several hundred dollar scanner useless.

Yes.

Autobiography of Joe Namath in 1969 was I Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow ... ‘Cause I Get Better-Looking Every Day.

Current version from urban thieves:

I Can’t Wait For Reparations Tomorrow ‘Cause I Can Grab Them Myself Today.

No but there is a screen name on FR for that. I’m always polite and respectful for her.

Oh, I know they do, quite a few things you can still listen to with a modern scanner, especially digital and trunked systems, otherwise there really isn’t much of a reason to have a scanner.
