Birmingham AL is encrypted now

cop wannabes are a problem

openness - live scanner audio

re dob and name via radio - cop could say "456 Code 10-300" -
dispatcher would send message to warrant channel dispatcher - expect a
phone call from officer 456 - officer 456 calls the warrant dispatcher
via cellphone and gives the secret password of the day - bingo - no
more private info over open airwaves

or maybe warrant checks could be done by address and initials - maybe

in any case - no legit scannerist is gonna miss the warrants channel
