@C0QUI I'm down. Let's do it.

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

@C0QUI Bummed that I missed this. Let me know if you do it again.

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

@BengalsSir @C0QUI YES!

@mattdorsey Meanwhile on Union Square, SFPD still has a perpetual mobile command post complete with gators and radio cars for blocks...

@robertcaruso When I moved to TI they told me to not get too attached. That redev was coming in "3 years, maybe 7 tops". In 1999.

@DeanPreston It would be a whole lot safer to just have an overpass that goes from the central freeway and lands at Fell and Oak Streets. Wouldn't it?

@SF_emergency Someone is stealing the phone lines from the poles out here on @SFTIDA in the middle of the night. My alarm wakes me between 3 and 4 AM. Multiple lines in my house are down. ATT Tech told me what the problem was. This is the FOURTH time it's happened in less than two months.

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

@ampledata @SF_emergency Typically, I find out about this when my burglar alarm senses the loss of the landline signal sometime between 3 and 4 in the morning.

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

@ampledata @SF_emergency This is the fourth time in about 7 weeks. The first time it happened, the lineman told us that someone is stealing the overhead phone lines.

@HamRadioWorld This thinking is so backward. We're fighting for freedom by restricting the freedom of the people threatened? Anything that opens the flow of information to a sequestered population should be protected.

Dear @Hyatt looking forward to my stay. Finally not too busy to figure out why I've never been able to log into the app. When designing an account number format that is mostly numbers but a letter at the end. You should skip the letter "O" #uxdesign

@LondonBreed The recent encryption of all police radio is a long step backwards. Keep PII and special ops secure, but let us hear what's happening in the city so that we can be aware citizens.

Public safety is public. There is value in clear communications for an informed city.

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

The crime is bad in #SanFrancisco right now. Today, @sfpd encrypted all of their radio channels. Now the public doesn't know what's happening and can't use that to stay safe anymore.

#DecryptThePolice #publicSafety is about keeping the public safe, not the police secret.

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

@ampledata The problem he was having with that camera is not in the way it's authorized. I don't want to talk about it in public but there's a design flaw in the way these work. I think the burglar knew how to exploit it

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

@SFPD Great job Central Station! Thanks for putting the resources to the operation. Your plainclothes teams have always done a great job on these operations, from what I used to be able to hear.

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

@SFPD @SFPD is a leader in transparent policing. That's why I'm surprised and disappointed at the almost complete encryption planned for the new radio system. No doubt about it, this is a busy city for #Police. I rely on these communications to keep my family and community safe.

@crystalskyes80 According to my 95 year old grandmother, on aging, "If you're lucky, it gets worse"

[Desmond Crisis @dcrisis]

@itsmeshanem It was just getting good again. Sad. Radio is truly dead.
