The Norwegian police solved the transparency problem by tweeting the newsworthy stuff they do.
Before they encrypted things even the SSNs of people not convicted of anything was transmitted for all to hear and the emergency radio channels were streamed online.
It might suck for the curious but I think privacy of the population should trump government transparency in this case.

- tyfon 8y agoWell, the stuff going over the radio doesn't really help transparency either it just outs individuals. There is an independent "police force" outside of the police here that handles all "police crime". The regular police hates them and have pushed for their disbandment from time to time. It works pretty well, the biggest story in the news right now is an under cover cop that got too under cover and he was caught. Open radio would neither help nor hurt.
