Probably not. But what will be exciting is receiving a UHF signal from 100s of Kms away. Must be the amateur radio operator in meLudacris wrote:You won't hear many country cops as most jobs are done by phone... So it won't be very exciting

I am guessing this is directed at myself and just.nosey.CHEV4EVR wrote:I noticed a sub-topic of the previous related thread was about vehicles, ie V8's and turbos etc. I understand that it is a public forum and everyone is entitled to their view. I do, however find it amusing to see people getting high up on their soapbox about something they know absolutley nothing about.
I enjoy these sites but guys if you are going to offer an opinion or make a comment at least try and make it an informed one. Given that most of the knowledge base here is derived from scanner listening the threads should probably stick to those. By all means continue with the current threads if you enjoy giving others who choose to THINK and then write a chuckle[/b]

I think it's fairly common knowledge what police vehicles are required to do. It's not rocket science.CHEV4EVR wrote:Not my point. I find the posts by Just.Nosey informative. The refreshing part about those posts is that Just.Nosey doesn't pretend to know something. If the information is not verified it is declared in the original post.
It is fairly obvious what type of vehicles are used by WAP. Part of this site is to catalogue them which is fine as cars can be a common interest to most people. To say whether they are suited to the tasks of policing by looking at them or hearing about what they can do is a completely different matter. For a debate to have some credibility (ie V8's v Turbo V SV6) one party at least should have some first hand knowledge about what is required.
The whole point of my post was that people should stick to the theme of scanning and cataloging of vehicles.
I was in total agreeance with your words towards Byte.CHEV4EVR wrote:Ahh good to see a thread need to degenerate to this sort of behaviour.
You will find that quite a few "members" browse this site on regular basis. It is actually quite interesting to see how other people view the tasks that are attended and what tasks are "interesting". I have been browsing this site for a long time now and have only started posting in response to that winner "byte". I do not think I am lowering myself or trying to inflate my ego by posting.
You are right we get told what to drive but at the end of the day I DRIVE it and that gives me the right to offer an opinion.
Mind you at the end of the day having a large ego is much better than having a chip on your shoulder......[/b]

My comments about "stick to" are not designed to be intimidating towards others they are along the lines with the comments made by the moderators of this forum. If you have no interest in scanning or police vehicles then find someone else to stir and we can go back to what most users of this site enjoy, scanning. Find a post on this site about a scanning event that has me declaring "Me King Kong, you loser, go away you peasant"...hmm I don't think so.
If you want any help I will be glad to direct you to sites that are designed for you to endlessly argue with someome else about some banal point.
Personally I think they should be allowed to.JG-103 wrote:Seeing as the other post is locked, i was wanna state that i was not cop bashing, i was saying that an undercover cop car shouldnt be able to speed to a 328 which is a disturbance for those of u who thought it was a domestic - Tom and Kinetic- however because of what i posted i found out from VK6 as to why they are allowed too. I know 6 cops and they along with all the other men and women in the force do a wonderfull job, im not nor wasnt bashin any off em!!!!
I hope they do "pound you", if you don't like scanning then you are obviously in the wrong forum.hitman wrote: I know Gavin or Doug are going to pound me for these posts. But seriously, you are a dickhead.
I don't need to be directed to any other sites. I am quite content with sitting here being a pain in your ass.
