Hi there! I'm the owner and operator of Broadcastify, which is the platform that powers all the apps that provide police scanners and public safety communications online. I'm an active HN reader and would be glad to answer any questions folks have.

It's an interesting business to be in these days...

Isn't police radio usually scrambled? It is where I am in Norway. It was legal to listen to it before it was scrambled though. Not sure if it's legal to de-scramble it, if it's at all possible. AFAIK you can still listen to the ambulance channel, though, but sometimes the details are ... grisly.

It would seem reasonable to be able to FOIA the encryption keys in US locations where it is encrypted.

FOIA is a federal law. Each state has its own law. For example, Texas's is the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA). The standards could vary state by state.
