[TheList] Police Digital Rollout

Sun Aug 12 08:42:59 AEST 2012

But the digital system (Similar encryption to strength the CIA uses) was 
sold to the public because it will stop the boy racers from listening in 
and the burglars from getting away before the police arrive. Maybe it 
has but a lot of money for petty crime stopping.
I agree and have to ask too HOW can we afford this. Its ongoing too you 
have to pay an ongoing licensing fee for the encryption.

How many have been burgled and just had it dealt with over the phone and 
been given an incident number to give to the insurance company, 
especially when your car is stolen. BUT when there's a chase on now 
every cop and his dog attends!
Christchurch Tuesday last week 12 calls from public about 9 police cars 
heading down Moorehouse avenue extremely fast. Request made to 
Wellington HQ because you cannot deal directly with ChCh anymore and the 
reply came back as "I doubt there were 9 police cars involved, It was a 
stolen car and the suspect was apprehended" The official line, but the 
Wellington HQ had to be prompted to comment they did not put out a 
formal press release.

So I just read that there was yet another Homicide in Kapiti of a 17 
year old........................I see that the encryption is putting a 
stop to serious crime.... NOT. Its only putting a stop to the public 
maybe keeping the system a little honest...............
The encryption was raced into place stating the security requirements of 
the world cup. But one of the games was held in the, then and still not 
encrypted, City of Dunedin...........Go Figure.

But our Boy Greg O'Connor (Rent a comment) will put on his clown suit 
and steadfastly tell us encryption is critical for a modern police 
force. But wait, there's more, We also need to Arm our officers. Watch 
this space.
