Auckland, California (KON) – The Oakland Police Administration will start encrypting its radio connections on Wednesday, which will cut off access to the public and the media to protect the safety of society and the employee.
The decision to encrypt radio channels follow a policy from the Ministry of Justice in California, which requires the encryption of personal information that is transferred through radio devices.
“I think from an optical perspective, it is definitely bad news.”.
“This is related to accountability, it is related to transparency,” said Senator Josh Baker, who tried to pass legislation to prevent remedy to the radio.
Hoover, who has helped establish the Oakland Committee for Consulting Privacy and served on it for a period of nine years, says the police department should focus on increasing transparency, especially after it underwent federal supervision on racist stereotypes.
He believes that the administration does the opposite of gaining the confidence of the public by encrypting the communications, saying: “We have a turbulent past and we need to gain people’s confidence, through the dark, we do the opposite of what we must try to do.”
Hofer suggests that the police can use icon words or other methods to connect sensitive information without completely silent.
The state of state Baker highlights the example of the California Highway patrol, which has protocols to protect personal information while continuing to provide information to the public.
