    Apparently Americans feel like this is a way of keeping taps on what their police do.

    It’s interesting. One argument for encrypting is that it keeps private info of the people involved private. But some retort that they can just use other means to communicate that info. But wouldn’t that mean that it doesn’t help keeping taps on the police doing shady shit since they can just use those more secure means of communicating anyway?

      They’re getting away with shady shit now, via the unencrypted channels, hiding behind qualified immunity and get away with literal murder.

      The question should be how successful is it holding the police accountable based solely on their radio communications. I’d imagine the answer is “not fucking likely”.
