The NYPD is spending $390 million on a new radio system that will encrypt officers’ communications — reversing a near-century-old practice of allowing the public and the press to listen to police dispatches.

But I thought you said E2E encryption a danger to national security, hmm?
You said you wanted a backdoor, didn’t you?
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, right? Right?
Standard double standard bullshit.
When did the NYPD say any of that, though?
I think you’re confusing them for another org.

New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance (pictured above) has been an outspoken critic of Apple’s end-to-end encryption policy, saying ‘they have taken away one of our best sources of information. Just because they say so.’
tbf, cops ‘doxx’ people over the radio all the time. not just suspects, either, but potential witnesses, and normal folks caught-up in ‘stop and frisk’ or ‘papers, please’ stops. full legal names, birth dates, genders, government id numbers, addresses, and so forth are broadcast for all to hear. that data should be encrypted, and is in many jurisdictions already.
I disagree completely.
Public data is public.
Well then cough up your public data:
- full legal name
- birth dates
- gender
- government id numbers
- addresses
- and so forth
They wont use that to abuse their position. no way. /s
Gee, that’s not suspicious at all! I’m sure nothing shady will ever happen because of this.
Right, so now they’re operating in total secrecy. Nothing at all like a gang!
It’ll take all of two min to break into the encrypted coms. The NYPD is a lot of things, smart is not one of them
I assume this means encrypted P25 . Public service agencies have been using it for years, though not all of them encrypt.
And it’s easily decoded when you have the keys which, based on every other department that uses them, won’t take long to leak or be cracked.Lot of folks use SDR setups on a PC to decrypt and stream police and fire radio to a service like Broadcastify
Yeah fuck that
