Thats exactly what its about. The article starts speaking about saving lives and there being drug money there but makes NO mention of it AT ALL, or on the TV clip, or the radio show.

And after looking at the various bands, the frequencies used by the police and emergency services bands are outside even the range of normal consumer radios, somewhere in the region of 130mhz and up or below 80mhz

Check it out, there are multiple bands above and below consumer bands doing all sorts of stuff. Its quite interesting really.
