What do cops reporters do when police radios are encrypted?
Letter to Romenesko
From MICHAEL BUCK: Subject — encrypted police radios. I’m a former police reporter for this paper [The Express-Times] and often wondered what would happen if police did what they have just done in Allentown, Pa.: switch to encrypted radio communications. I know this has happened elsewhere. What are other outlets doing? Begging cops for the code or coming up with new ways of monitoring them? What do your readers have to say?
