That's because they've relaxed on it a bunch. Also, the stuff they were pushing in the 90s really wasn't secure.

There was a Darknet Diaries episode that covered a lot of this, but I can't remember which one.

The public record of public servants should not be encrypted in a free nation.

That includes their speech and actions and the tools they use to disseminate them.

This isn't hard.

Denver did this a few years back and it sucks! I am surprised NYPD has not done so already.
