NYPD faces backlash as it prepares to encrypt radio communications | New York | The Guardian
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
That's absurd. There are very specific guidelines for sharing protected health information with and among law enforcement. There is no paperwork that "all receiving parties" can fill out to cover a blanket broadcast of protected information to anyone with an encrypted police radio. You would still need to have a specific purpose for disclosure, and disclose only the required information to only the necessary parties. An encrypted channel would still be available to dispatchers, administrators, and a bunch of random people that don't need to receive that information.
