I work on law enforcement in Canada and yes the public were pissed as we made scanners obsolete. Then I explained that we would essentially fail MFIPPA privacy act as we have free encryption and chose not to use it. Explain to victims why a rape victims entire details were broadcast over the air to the general public to hear when it could have been private. How would you like that if you were the father and your daughter was raped and it was broadcast acorss the internet? It would ruin the family. Also, the municipality would be instantly sued civilly costing much more than the encryption ever would.
