The needle and the damage done

There are 6 people I can think of from my high school class that are dead now.

One was from a car accident, one was suicide, and the other 4 were overdoses. I don't know anyone who died from NSAIDs.

Oh also... the suicide was via opiates.

Ignore that person...there is an agenda. Yes, NSAIDs suck, but when the primary cause of death for your working population in this country is drug overdose....HELLO, it's an issue.

Show me this statistic. From where did you get it? Is it anecdotal or empirical?

I like my scanner too. But my city & country are
encrypted. I do get the cesspool city down the road,
ATX & Travis county. It's a felony I think for me
to possess hardware and or software for decryption.
I hear a lot of OD's going on when I do listen to
ATX.
The other thing I hear quite often is a "no contact"
request. Which kinda squashes the theory that illegals
can't report crimes for fear of deportment. Obviously
they might not report a crime whereas they may be a victim,
but anyone can call the cops and report anything and do
a "no contact" request and never see a LEO.

I don't even think there's a statute for that, but the real problem would be finding the hardware and or software to do it.

AES is not easy to break, it would be easier to become a reserve cop yourself and get a legit radio than it would be to break the encryption if it's not something you are trained to do. There aren't off the shelf decryption devices just floating around for sale. You would need a custom designed computer costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, with custom written software.

If you constructed a device capable of real time 256 bit decryption and got caught, the NSA would probably recruit you before you made it to trial.

You could probably just buy a P25 capable radio and try tuning in with whatever the default encryption key is, I wouldn't be surprised if it worked. The United States nuclear launch codes used to be "00000000".

But here's the problem, P25 radios often communicate back to the repeater they are listening to... and that would be a mega major felony if you got caught... and you just might because your radio would become a homing beacon and leave digital tracks on the system you were monitoring.
