The Police State marches on: More police departments encrypting radio transmissions

So the public and media can’t hear them.
You can trust the police. No reason to be concerned that they want to operate in secrecy.
Erie is one such example:
By all means keep ‘backing the blue’

The county’s $26.5 million Next Generation Public Safety Radio System will keep the public and press from hearing scanner traffic of law enforcement agencies. Erie County’s $26.5 million, taxpayer-funded public safety radio project will go live in coming months. When it does, portions of the new system will also go silent for the public and the news media.
By all means keep ‘backing the blue’

I can understand this during an active situation where scanners could jeopardize lives.

Can you give an example of this?

Hostage situation where the hostage taker is monitoring police communications on a scanner.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together shouldn't need this to be explained to them.

Okay...in movies, I will be okay with police scrambled communications

"Active hostage situation. We have snipers on the roofs of the Academy Sports store across the street and on the left side of Krispy Kreme. SWAT team will scale the west side of the bank and enter through the ceiling on the second floor. Keep him busy with the negotiator until we are ready to make a move."

Well, I was the one that asked. So, it is an obvious single brain cell situation

Even worse to me: Barr was just asked today about the hold up of Federal Grants to LOCAL police depts nationwide.
Why am I paying taxes to prop up local PD in, oh, Albuquerque? Omaha? Van Nuys? Pensacola? Oshkosh? Chicago? NYC? I've never set foot in those places and have no desire or foresee ever having any reason to ever be remotely near those places.
Wealth redistribution. Another example of can't support themselves so make others support them.
(BTW his answer was liberal judges issuing nationwide moratoriums holding up the whole process...not what the Resist! Dems wanted to hear.

It’s still being recorded and can be produced for evidence if needed. Why should the public be immediately privy to the personal information being transmitted about persons during investigations or to the movement of personnel while seeking dangerous criminals and such?

Are you suggesting that hostage situations don't occur in real life? Or that confirmation that the perpetrator is actively monitoring the radio must be established before locking down the channel?

So, you're going to tell me that, in the future, we're not going to be able to check the mics on the OT during a breaking news event?

Because the public is funding the entire thing and law enforcement has the highest burden of transparency of all.

I'm suggesting that these almost never occur. Perhaps NEVER (where the hostage taker brings a scanner with and uses it to keep up with what the police are plotting as a response).
It is a goofy as taking off our shoes at TSA lines. MORE goofy.

Because a government agency is publicly funded, you should be entitled to immediate information about its activities and the personal information of every citizen having contact with that agency just because you want to listen in?
Do you think you’re entitled to all the information every IRS agent is receiving in the course of his investigations? Military movements? Where does this argument end?

One example doesn't really help your case

Yeah, well, that would include the FBI and DHS dealing with active terror investigations, now wouldn't it?
