don't think it is the same guy, there is a 32yo in Taunton


32 sounds about right. Here he is at the young age of 20 back in 2009 peddling morphine. $1000 and a continued case.

Kevin Serpa, 20, of 34 Roundtable Lane, Taunton, was arraigned on Nov. 20 Taunton police charges of trafficking in morphine and failing to signal. Curtin ordered him released on $1,000 cash bail and continued the case to Jan. 22.
 
Gunshots/Brockton: Chevy Cruze found? Repo gone bad?

 

Person Barricaded in a Brockton Home, Officer Shot and a second person shot also and has died​


A police officer was shot in Brockton, Massachusetts, Thursday, officials said, while a suspect was barricaded inside of a home.

The shooting took place on Taber Avenue, Brockton police said. The officer's condition wasn't immediately available; they were taken to Boston Medical Center with a heavy police escort.

No more information was immediately available.

A large number of police were at two nearby scenes in Brockton Thursday evening.

SWAT team is being called in to deal with the barricaded suspect

And that's why police departments are encrypting their radio systems.
So thread derailment here... but i thought that had to do with changing from analog signals that radios used to use over to ip based now they run through the internet. And i thought they had to provide online feeds that could be listened to via court order?

And someone shot in brockton...no wayyyy that never happens
 
no it has to do with keeping information secure, because apparently the COA 1934 which makes it illegal to repeat what is heard on non broadcast (AM/FM) radio frequencies a no no
 
No, you can do VOIP in the clear. Most analog systems do that as copper is going away and radio systems mostly run on fiber. MOST of the police departments in this area that have moved to digital are still in the clear. There are a small number that have encrypted their comms, but most are still analog. Even the state police are running most of their system in the clear. When the finish the P25 digital project, supposedly in 2025 they'll have some encrypted, but mostly in the clear Talk Groups.

No person not being authorized by the sender shall intercept any radio communication and divulge or publish the existence, contents, substance, purport, effect, or meaning of such intercepted communication to any person. 47 U.S.C. § 605(a). The penalties for violating this section are severe: a fine of not more than $2000, imprisonment, or both or, where such violation is “willfull[] and for purposes of direct or indirect commercial advantage or private financial gain,” a fine of up to $50,000 and imprisonment of not more than two years for the first such conviction and up to $100,000 and five years for subsequent convictions. In addition, the statute provides for a private civil remedy to any person aggrieved by a violation of this section. The FCC regulations implementing this section more specifically provide that messages originated by “privately-owned non-broadcast stations . . . may be broadcast only upon receipt of prior permission from the non-broadcast licensee.”
 
Be that as it may, look at "Broadcastify" and you'll see why some agencies are encrypting. Personally I think that between cell phones, computers in cruisers, and texting, there are ways to keep sensitive information secure, but the radio manufacturers push this because it makes big money for them.

Channels 5, 7, 10 interrupting regular programming, but channel 4 going with Jeopardy. That's where the money is.

MSP helo over the scene, looks like the STOP team is too.
 
per the scanner a civilian and an officer have been shot
Cops are civilians
