What ever happened to the "Freedom of Information Act" ? These agencies should never encrypt standard traffic Channels. They have encrypted tactical channels they can switch to just for that !!!
Encrypting communications is now essential for most entities including both private and government services. Not to "hide" data, but to provide security. Try to imagine ANY communications that could not be exploited for criminal activity. Having ready access to police channels allow someone to determine the deployment of police units. Who might find that helpful? Access to communications among prison personnel would be valuable to someone, maybe to coordinate the dissemination of contraband? . You want your baby monitor encrypted, don't you? The public should not have access to "everything" as long as there exist criminals in the public. Let me know when the criminals are all gone so I can remove the encryption from my baby monitor. Of course, encryption makes it more difficult for citizens to know what government agencies are doing. FOIA offers us access to their data, similar to the way that a warrant allows access to the data of private citizens. Requiring "reasonable suspicion" or a "public interest" for access to data is not unreasonable. Requests for information are too often used as a weapon to disrupt legitimate government activities, flooding an agency with requests can severely interfere with that agency's ability to function. Unrestricted data access in either direction is not a good thing.
Ham will always be unencrypted, you can listen to what's going on around you by programming in ham repeater freqs. You can also still listen to businesses , airports, state and federal freqs. And also using close call or singal stalker will always be an option.
Ham is useless vs actually listening to fire police and ems. Hams dont know anymore about whats going on than anyone else. So you would be listening to joe blows opinion about what he thinks might be happening. Totally useless.
they encrypted the whole Brooklyn and they just getting started & im now finding out that they also encrypted the Department of Corrections hear in New York city
Unfortunately all radio broadcasts except the ems and provincial police are encrypted in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. Yes, our city busses, public works, and fire are all encrypted.
There's different levels of encryption . Like with p25 . some localities use p25 , but might not have full encryption on it enabled. usually , the general emergency channels that are only broadcasting the basic info do not contain full encryption , while the detailed specific channels utilizing important and secretive info the police don't want the public to hear contains the full encryption.
There aren't different levels of encryption. P25 is digital but that in itself isn't encryption. It just reqires a compatible receiver. All encryption is "full".
@@markevan1 so you basically reiterated what i said. if it is not fully encrypted, you can hear it with some tech skills, but if it has full encryption you cant .
@@djdonbentley2141 If you can hear it, it isn't encrypted at all. It is either an analog or digitized signal.. There's no full or partial encryption. It either is or it isn't.
No consumer based scanner will allow you to program in the key. Even if you tried to brute force the encryption key, it could take years to find the correct sequence. And if you did, a simple key role would have you starting from square one again.
@@ScannerSchool okay you're telling me it can't be done technology tell a different story I say it can be done ✅ every single thing you talk about was created by human beings scanners encryption decryption reverse engineering and you're sitting up here telling me it can't be done okay you just continue to believe that and continue to miss the force for the trees
There are difficult methods, however there are also what I would consider easy methods, as well. There's more than one way to skin a cat, but a dull knife makes them all difficult.

So the only way to fight it would be to file a lawsuit against the Legal Entity blocking the Public from taxpayer funded transmissions.
...
It would be nice if they could provided unencryped signals for ham radio operators (FCC Licensed Operators).
I hope somebody comes up with a decryption device. Whenever they do rest assured, I'll be one of the first to buy one.
Please, even if its $1,000 I'd buy it
It's very possible to hack the transmission and find the key value. It's all part of the game you have to have the skills to play or retire.

I think hiding a mic in the dispatch would be a lot easier.
I miss hearing the nassau county police frequencies when they go digital I was sad

What about radio direction finding. Close call or possibly learning how to discreetly break the easier forms of encryption. Traffic analysis as well.
Electronics through the black market will be able to keep up with the changes
I was pissed when Al Goldsteins magazine went defunct!
I’m gonna save you some time.......nothing he says nothing for the whole video.
New York City Police still Transmit Analog because it's have much better Penner Preparation!
Ginu Radio can Decode P25 Encryption,

Can you listen to encryption scanning yes it's difficult you have to figure out the key code it's difficult but not impossible

you'll be figuring it out every day for the rest of your life.
and then it gets changed and you start all over.
Most DMR Radios will send the Encrypted Key through the Air, My Alinco DJ-MD5X DMR, I just Tap the * Key it will Decode other Radio,

It's a direct violation of Florida's Sunshine Laws
A whole video of blather with absolutely nothing of substance or insight on the subject. Don't waste your time even skipping through it.
