Yes, this is absolutely suspicious and definitely a sign of police overreach and government's misplaced priorities.
But.
I do want to point out that, whenever a cop wants to do something shady right now, they don't do it over the unencrypted radio. It's not like we're giving them a new way to be malfeasant. It's not like they're currently completely accountable and transparent, and they won't be later.
Right now, they just use their cell phone when they want to do something shady.
