Historically in the USA many police agencies have tried to cover-up and hide evidence of wrongdoing by on duty officers. Some people viewed the open radio policy as a way to monitor the police to make sure they're not breaking the law themselves. I personally have never tried to listen in to a police radio so it doesn't bother me much but some people are upset about it.

Hey I love snooping on shit and watching reality shows as much as the next guy but I couldn't be that mad about the police wanting to have a secure way of communicating

I wouldn’t imagine that radio communications contain much evidence of wrongdoing. All the real illegal shit happens in person.
