Critics: Encryption of police scanners puts public safety at risk!
Recently the Rockford PD held a press conference saying that crime is down.
However, there are numerous reports of shootings and many other VIOLENT crimes, that the Rockford PD never tell the public.
Is this how Rockford PD is able to tell you crime is down?
Because they encrypted and refuse to inform the public about many violent crimes.
The public has to TRUST the word, of those who encrypted and hide vital information from the community…
I will use this scene as an example:
On Saturday there was a shooting on Franklin Place.
Here is a photo from that scene.
And it is almost a week later, and still not a peep from Rockford PD on this shooting.
Or many of the other shootings and violent crimes that go on in Winnebago County.
Local police encrypted and hides information from the community.
And then expects the community to TRUST them.
- Open the airwaves, so people can hear for themselves if crime is really down.
- Open up the airwaves, so the public can hear how good of a job,
(or bad of a job) the local police are doing to combat crimes. - Open up the airwaves, so the community and 1st responders can be SAFE!
Just because you do not hear about it, does not mean that it did not happen…
Currently in Chicago: https://www.foxnews.com/media/lori-lightfoot-chicago-media-ignoring-concerns-police-scanner-suppression
A coalition of news organizations claims the new system will be inaccessible to the public
and will hamper journalists’ ability to listen in real-time to warn the public about ongoing threats to safety.
“We are a coalition of Chicago-area news organizations concerned with this planned encryption and are sharing our concerns to raise awareness about how the City’s plan will impact our ability to provide timely, accurate and potentially life-saving news to you,” the letter reads.
The letter also references a shooting last week at a Chicago courthouse and police district in broad daylight. The perpetrator fired more than 40 shots and escaped. The media organizations that penned the letter said that the public did not see, hear or read about the crime as it was happening because of the new system.
“The City of Chicago prevented you from knowing about this dangerous incident by blocking all live scanner transmissions. This jeopardized the lives of everyone at that police department, everyone at that courthouse, everyone on that expressway,” the letter continues.
The news organizations also referenced another incident, in which the media was not able to report in real-time after a man armed with a rifle walked through a Chicago neighborhood, later being shot by police.
The media members worry that the delay could harm the public during quickly unfolding events, such as an active shooter event, a bomb scare, or fire.
The media organizations that signed the letter include Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Tribune, Fox 32 Chicago, WGN-TV, ABC 7 Chicago, NBC 5 Chicago, and CBS 2 Chicago.
