I just don't see the need. I do understand the former firefighter, I know a guy like that and that's fine by me. Media is understandable, sometimes they can't wait around for press releases. However for most other people I just don't see the need, if you are that interested in the emergency services go down to the station and talk to the guys. The people that are really a problem are the ones that hear about things like that and go to the scene and get in the way, I know most aren't like that but a few bad apples... And I mean do you really NEED to listen in, is it improving your quality of life in any way?
