Fred03 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 To me it just seems wrong to listen to scanners, when you listen to somethings happen on the scanner you are noising into a family's personal tragedy. Basically you have no need to know so why snoop? And sometimes some pretty nasty things have to be said over the radio, things the public doesn't need to hear.

Xplorer4x4 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 To me it just seems wrong to listen to scanners, when you listen to somethings happen on the scanner you are noising into a family's personal tragedy. Basically you have no need to know so why snoop? And sometimes some pretty nasty things have to be said over the radio, things the public doesn't need to hear. You call it snooping, I call it being a concerned citizen. I also call it entertainment to some extent depending on the call. For example if I heard this( https://www.emergency-planet.com/photo.php?v=633673356691631 ) go out on the radio I would die laughing. Another example, my roommate has a 3 year old, and if I had been living with her at the time, I would want to know my ex-neighbor was busted for child pron. If that sick sob had ever pulled anything with her kid, shit would have hit the fan to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youdotoo Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't support people listening into emergency calls at all. Only the people who are responding need to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmergencyFan97 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 It's public domain unless its an encrypted channel. Here, EMS is on encrypted channels and you have to have Palmetto 800 radios to be able to listen. Fire, however, is not encrypted and anyone with a scanner can listen in. For instance, the news guy covering this county has a scanner. So does my granddad, who's a former firefighter. I don't see anything wrong with listening in so long as the information isn't being used for criminal purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred03 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

met police999 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I wouldnt say its a problem but the pros and cons are visible ive listened to them in past but if there was a problem with people listening they would encrypt the channels over here its illegal to listen to UK emergency services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred03 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well in my small town the channels aren't encrypted (lack of technology/money I would guess) and anyone with a scanner can hear the LEOs running a plate or arresting someone and I think that is wrong.

Michael Copeland Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Broadcastify is very good and it pretty much covers police and fire radio's around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
