[TheList] Encrypted radio

Mon Oct 22 20:23:09 AEDT 2012

I define it as such:

It'd be a really really bad idea to try and triangulate any Police
transmissions - the question has to be asked, why would you want to
anyway?

It'd be a really really REALLY bad idea to tell anyone about it, or
even suggest to anyone you were doing such an act. That'd go as far as
asking asking above whether it could be done, or how it could be done.
If the Police found you were doing such a thing, you're likely going
to get charged under some act.

Its a question thats a lot safer not being asked.
