VSP Encrypts Radio Channels — From Dave Statter: “Last night at 6:51 p.m., @VSPPIO radio channels became encrypted. This means the public will be much less informed about the work of Virginia State Police troopers here in Northern Virginia and throughout the Commonwealth. At a time when police agencies should strive to be more open and transparent this is pulling down the blinds.” [Twitter]

The walls for the construction site make it a blind intersection reducing any chance of the vehicle on Langston to be able to avoid the white car on Lynn.” [Twitter]
