All ears tuned to Qld police scanners

THE days of the crime reporter hunched over a police scanner will be gone for good in Queensland if police succeed in a bid to keep digital communications secret.

Instead, the media could find itself restricted to a 24-hour police media unit, SMS messaging services and a broadcast dissemination service to newsrooms

Bah...  What a waste of 90 dollas...  Oh well was good listening for a bit...  Although... It could be years before they actually do something...

It took them the whole 2 years and 9 months (plus the rest) that I was there to implement just the brisbane metro area.

But now that the network has been set up and proven to work, it probably won't take that long to get the rest of the state onto digital.

Anything the police can do we can do better :cheers: hehe

Someone will crack/hack or release something that listens to the digital etc

Its just a matter of time, but who cares anyway, if i wanted to hear of constable xxx pulling over a 14 year old for a bong in his bag a 2am then ide watch cops.

as the man was saying.. i think aaron was the one who told me you could crack them fairly easly actually :thumbsup:

the best part is cops will *think* nobody can listen in on anymore :) which is more dangerous than them knowing people can listen in...

i can understand why the cops don't want us listen in, however i think it should be another one of those laws, like why cops without cameria/radar carn't book you for speeding without photographic evidence.

personaly i think that if cops can hide there vehicles and just leave the radar gun/speed cameria sitting out near the road ( and as for the radar signs that they have to have, how many of them have you seen facing the correct way on the road??) Then the public should be alowed to have radar detectors and police scanners.

just my 2 cents worth.

Makes sense, well we were able to avoid an pretty serious accident scene once due to listening to the scanner. Meant less cars at the accident scene and one less car for police to divert .... some times listening into them can be a good thing ....
