    Copy/pasting from another comment, but it’s assholes who ruin it for everyone

    In prior articles on this, religious nutjobs would listen to police radio and visit the active crime scene and start praying in the middle of the chaos. Like, every crime scene. People and police started getting really sick of their shit during an emergency. Other flavors of morons would also show up to watch shit go down. Sometimes, private information would also get said on the radio such as names or addresses, which could lead to harassment or true crime nuts showing up to victims’ homes.

    I kinda get why making channels private for everyone but reporters (for transparency) is happening.
