Can you still listen to the police in 2026? In Day 6 of our 30-day challenge, we address the legality of scanning and the reality of radio encryption. In this video, you’ll learn: - The federal laws regarding listening to public safety airwaves. - What encryption actually is (the "digital padlock"). - Why many departments still choose to stay "in the clear." - What else there is to listen to if your local police go quiet. Join the Challenge: We're simplifying the scanner hobby one day at a time.
