Police want encrypted radios

--------- Forwarded message ---------- https://www.wsj.com/articles/want-to-listen-to-police-scanners-cops-say-no-… Want to Listen to Police Scanners? Cops Say No More Police move to block the public from listening to scanners By Zusha Elinson May 17, 2018 8:00 a.m. ET A report of a suspicious person crackled from John Messner's RadioShack police scanner, one of two he keeps at his home in Knoxville, Tenn. When an officer was heard yelling "Shots fired!" minutes later, Mr. Messner knew it was time to go. The 52-year-old construction worker and photographer grabbed his two cameras, his portable scanner, jumped in his 1999 Plymouth Voyager minivan, and raced to the scene 3 miles away, where a suspected burglar was shot by police. "When I got there, the guy was still on the ground, they hadn't put him in the ambulance yet," said Mr. Messner of the November incident. "It didn't look like he was dead, but he was definitely hit." Mr. Messner snapped pictures and posted them on his Knoxville Crime Facebook group, which has 94,000 members in a city of 186,000. They come to see photos, read Mr. Messner's live updates on police chases and burglaries that he gets from the police scanner, and discuss neighborhood crime issues. Social-media groups like Knoxville Crime are one reason that Knoxville police officials say they will begin encrypting police radio communications in August, making it impossible for the public--and Mr. Messner--to listen in live. The move comes as more police departments around the country are seeking to shield their live radio communications, now easily accessible via smartphone apps. Police say the effort will keep officers safe and bad guys from finding out what they're doing. "When you're putting out information that only a suspect and a victim and an officer knows, then all of the sudden you have someone put that on social media, that takes your advantage away," said Darrell DeBusk, a Knoxville police spokesman. Earlier this year, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department encrypted its radio traffic, alleging that bad guys "monitor police radio frequencies in order to better facilitate their crimes and gather intelligence about the whereabouts of police officers." Pueblo, Colo., police blocked their scanner traffic recently, citing suspects using scanner apps to avoid officers. Local media still has access to the live radio transmissions in Las Vegas--police allow them to purchase their own radios. In Knoxville, the radio traffic will be posted after a one-hour delay, said Mr. DeBusk. These moves have rankled scanner enthusiasts who range from people curious about police activity in their neighborhood to modern-day Weegees, the New York City freelance photographer known for his raw crime-scene photos. Many scanner buffs are police supporters who want to help solve crimes, making the decision to go dark a difficult one, police officials say. "It's a tough choice because many of the pro-police people out in the community who support their local police get that way because they listen to their police on these scanners or phone apps," said Richard Myers, executive director of the Major Cities Chiefs Association. Some police departments have found a solution by using encrypted channels for more sensitive work, such as a SWAT team readying for a raid, while keeping the more mundane police patrol work on the publicly available channel, he said. In Colorado, a push to encrypt police radio traffic inspired a bill backed by scanner enthusiasts earlier this year that would have banned encryption, except for sensitive situations. The bill failed with strong opposition from law enforcement. "These are government agents working for the taxpayers and I think citizens have the right to know what they're doing," said Robert Wareham, an attorney who helped draft the bill. Mr. Wareham, a former police officer, said he uses his scanner to find out about police activity in his neighborhood or on the roads. "There are six or seven times a year where I avoid a dangerous situations where I know what's going on," he said. In Knoxville, Mr. DeBusk, the police spokesman, said the prevalence of smartphone apps that broadcast police communications, such as Broadcastify, has made it easier for criminals to listen in. "You've always had people that had scanners, but it was not as common as the smartphone apps," said Mr. DeBusk. "We actually have arrested people, they've had the smartphone on them and we could hear our own dispatchers, the sound coming from their smartphone." Lindsay Blanton, the CEO of Broadcastify's parent company RadioReference.com, called this an "overdone complaint." The approximately 200,000 daily unique listeners tuning in to Broadcastify's 6,600 feeds typically hear police communications on a 45 second to three minute delay and the company bans sensitive content, he said. "It's providing more an entertainment type perspective than the ability to gain an advantage over law enforcement," said Mr. Blanton said. People can listen to public safety, aircraft, rail and marine audio streams from across the country on Broadcastify. The company relies on volunteers who send local feeds from their scanners and in some cases police departments who do the same because "there are a lot of agencies that value the general public being more involved," said Mr. Blanton. Mr. Messner, of the Knoxville Crime Facebook group, said he thinks city officials don't like the pressure that the group puts on them to deal with crime in the city. Cutting off the scanner will cut off Mr. Messner's access to the subjects of his photographs, some of which have made news themselves. Back in 2014, he went to the scene of unruly college party and photographed a Knox County Sheriff's deputy with his hands around the throat of handcuffed college student. The deputy was fired over the incident, but then allowed to retire. "I was at the right place at the right time," he said. "I listened to the scanner and I heard things escalating."

John McAfee: Under Siege, Underground, and On The Run - Whistles on SEC
by grarpamp 19 May '18

19 May '18

While our pursuers are chasing our smartphones, carried by poor look-alikes, across 2 states, we've been busy. To add to the entertainment... https://loggiaonfire.com/stream/S1526270400.html If you doubt Boss's commitment to freedom, watch as he violates the law by "impeding an ongoing SEC investigation by unlawfully disclosing information that could benefit the subjects of such investigation... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR8bGlUGxhR0hO8W4wc4V2Q/videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT9ZFF27OJU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ9-ujvyDww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOXoMc94NiY Rob, I think you need to come out if you can we're under siege. Had anyone else other than John McAfee been at the other end of the line, I probably would have laughed out loud. But it was John McAfee, so instead I soberly packed a bag. I am underground. This story by Rob Loggia explains all. I am the most vocal and angry opponent of the SEC. They are striking back with subpoenas. If I am silenced, it is the movement that suffers. I cannot allow this. My team will be my voice. Stay safe. THE WORLD'S BUSIEST CUL-DE-SAC ... With an eye towards staying one step ahead of the enemy, McAfee has decided to go dark. During this interview preparations were underway to relocate McAfee to an undisclosed, secure location where he intends to maintain radio silence and monitor the situation closely. In his absence his Twitter account will be manned by members of the McAfee Crypto Team, who will be providing status updates as they happen. This is not about me. I'm 72 years old people please!" stated McAfee, discussing his reasons for going underground. The SEC wants to destroy a revolution a movement of the people by making an example out of me. I cannot allow that to happen." Asked whether he believes he'll be able to come through intact, McAfee's answer was simple and to the point. I always do." @OfficialMcAfee @TheeMrsMcAfee @TheJoshBuchanan @McAfeeExecutive @GemCrypto @bixlawl @ThaiStarkovich @TrekForChange @TheReal_Wolf_ @EWCoinKing @FluentNinjitsu https://www.youtube.com/user/officialjohnmcafee/videos John McAfee Calls out FBI Crypto Backdoors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqI0jbKGaT8 https://www.facebook.com/officialmcafee/ https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=john+mcafee&sp=EgIYAg%253D%253D John McAfee At Blockchain Nation - April 2018 - Excellent Speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-AirSCMa18 John McAfee At CUNY Crypto X - May 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NnSkXA-bEw John McAfee - Bitcoin 2018 Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mehkq-ghzQc John McAfee - At d10e Romania https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BM1njQ8fy4 The world is on the edge of balance...

> Where's the profit motive to develop things that can be sold on basis of value when the IP value is destroyed using an open architecture model? > > It's a lot of work to develop a CPU design and it costs a lot of money (well north of $50M). Who pays for that when the value is destroyed by opening up the design so anyone can copy it? > > Seems very naïve relative to how the semiconductor investment cycle works. Asking on list would probably yield some of what you seek.

hey grarpamp, got a quote from your friend perry metzeer.

"I don't give a shit about the power structure -- I just think that anyone telling me what I can and cannot see, what I can and cannot write, and what I can and cannot sell, is my enemy." that's an interesting quote of course cause metzger is the same asshole who tells people what they can or cannot write in 'his' mailing list. a form of fascist censorship that you coincidentally support, right?
