Citizen dropped the ball many times. Especially going to a subscription model.

@RogueCitizen when was it free to listen to radio transmission?

The_Great_GonzoMar 5 at 11:32 AM

Keep the criminals in the dark and the police safe! Encrypt it all! This app only cares that they won't be able to charge people to get notified about angry squirrels and "possible" incidents

asapbaMar 5 at 11:18 AM

If anything the NYPD safety Is in danger by random people being able to listen to sensitive transmissions

PaddingMar 5 at 12:28 PM

Criminals have been catching on and using radio to evade police. An organized transnational robbery ring was doing it in Nassau county last summer. They would jam police communication causing a delayed response. They should be more transparent and update the public though.

Anybody else worried about them blocking radio transmissions at the same time Facebook and Instagram went down?
