Colorado police are known for altering video evidence, and for outright framing people for murder. Encrypting their comms will simply make it easier to continue this behavior in the future. https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2018/12/22/mother-man-fatally-shot-fort-collins-csu-police-files-complaint-complete-body-cam-footage/2391338002/ https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2018/12/22/mother-man-... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Hettrick_murder_case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Hettrick_murder_case

You posted two stories there. In the first one, the police department simply blurred out the face (and maybe some gore) in the video that they released? While I disagree with this, I don't think it's some nefarious plot lot you're suggesting. They seemed surprisingly patient with the armed party (by US standards) and only shot him when he charged them with a knife... As for the second link, that's definitely a travesty of justice. That said, the case unfolded over literally decades. I don't see how encrypting comms would change that sad situation.
