It doesn't work they don't use it for city limit announcements it's all a clever toy and waste of time I just go for the shotgun and load up when I hear a helicopter every time and use castile doctrine stand my ground if that criminal comes around running onto my property and trying to break in and be ready to deal with the criminal if they trespass or break in since encryption.
When a long train of abuses it is our right and duty to throw off such government and abolish it if they don't do what we want they work for we the people and we demand transparency how it was in the clear those departments are the true enemies with their encryption.
