the other morning, about 0450, a call went out here in mont.co. for a burglary in progress...priority response...in the beat where i live.
several of the responding units required turn-by-turn directions to get to the place because it wasn't on a major road but somewhat deep inside a residential area.
so i'm listening to the turn-by-turn directions, recognizing most of the directions (i was already familiar with the destination street as it was very near my old HS.) and i hear one of the responding officers request a unit to respond to an intersection along the way to the call....but doesn't mention the nature of his request.
only when he asks for a SPECIFIC unit to respond...does THAT unit ask "what is the nature?"
to which he responds..." [nameless unit] rear-ended me."
HA! high comedy, and one of the great moments that comes with scanner ownership.
keystone kops....
luckily, it didn't sound as if anyone was hurt, but both cruisers were apparently undriveable.
oh wait...not so funny...those are my tax dollars!!
