That's being discussed over on another board.

The guy has issues, and my understanding is he's currently incarcerated.

Cody Blaine Jones. Follow da Google-Fu. Don't know when the video was but the crime happened about 4 years ago. Town of Southport in Bay County. He does not seem to be "as" whacktastic as some of the other upstanding Florida citizens that have played wannabe cop are.

Since this is not current breaking news, this thread probably needs to be moved over just to the regular Florida forum or whatever appropriate.

You're not seeing that because that didn't happen in this case. He transmitted on their systems (2). That's it. Some people like to overstate things and say he interrupted the system operation for authorized users by transmitting on it himself, making the system unavailable for authorized users. While technically true (I suppose), he didn't disable it or interrupt the operation of the system in any way beyond taking up airtime which can accurately be described as transmissions in length of normal radio traffic messages.

Wowzers. There is a lot to unpack here. So he screwed with Washington Counties DMR and Bay Counties P25. This guy thinks like he's a busted elite white hat hacker in some kind of hacker movie. He brags to the det telling him the person who setup their system made a lot of mistakes, he then tells the detective he doesn't want to say those mistakes because it's his "bargaining chip". Tells the det that "he guarantees nobody else in the county can do what he did except for sys admins who do it for a living" He's pretty arrogant and stupid. Oh of course he's also a police impersonator

:rolleyes: Yea...it's in the description of the YouTube video and in the video he explains it. He did much worse. Besides impersonating on the radio he then screwed with the system then did something I've never heard a whacker do before. They inhibited his radio, so he inhibited theirs back. He then tried to extort them telling them to leave him alone and he'll leave them alone. WOW just wow!!!

In late-November 2018, an unknown subject transmitted on Washington County Sheriff's Office's radio frequency, using a two-way communications device, without authorization. The subject used a radio device to speak and identify himself as Washington-37, Washington-21 and Washington-15, requesting "radio checks" and driver's license information regarding various subjects. The subject also set off "alert" tones on the Washington County Sheriff's Office dispatch radio frequency. The same subject later transmitted on Washington County EMS radio frequencies, identifying himself as "EMS-3" and "Medic-121."

At one point, a police lieutenant sent a radio signal to the transmitting device, intending to shut down the unauthorized transmissions. A short time later, the Washington County Sheriff's Office Communications Center received a series of the same signals, which shut down the Washington County Sheriff's Office Communications Center radio for several hours. The unknown subject made multiple attempts to continuously disable Washington County Sheriff's Office radios, and sent disabling signals to EMS radios which disabled EMS communications for 13 hours, and later, again, for about seven hours. A radio text message was subsequently received from the unknown subject advising, in essence, that he would leave the police alone, if they left him alone. :oops:

He stated on video this was him "returning the favor" :oops: They inhibited his radio so he inhibited theirs...What a malicious twerp. Then sent them a message to which claims if they stop inhibiting the radio ID he bootlegs for his fake calls and screwing with their system, he'll stop inhibiting their radios which he claims this is part of his plan for them to... In his words... "mutually coincide" This guy is nuts N-U-T-S

He's a police impersonator as well besides pretending to be a cop on the radio running names and license checks

"The subject used a radio device to speak and identify himself as Washington-37, Washington-21 and Washington-15, requesting "radio checks" and driver's license information regarding various subjects."

" In January 2019, investigators with the Bay County Sheriff's Office, while working a similar series of radio transmissions and service interruptions, developed a lead, and on January 4, 2019, BCSO investigators arranged a meeting with Cody Blaine Jones under the guise that they wanted to give him a "thank you" card for his assistance to the Sheriff's Office. Jones was advised that he was being detained, and he attempted to run, however Jones was tackled to the ground and was taken into custody, after which he gave this statement. When Jones was captured, he was found to be in possession of a police badge and gun"

Can you even stun a DMR Radio? in conventional mode, honest question as Washington County (Chipley) is DMR Non Trunked, this is an honest question out of curiosity and im genuinely not familiar if that's possible

Absolutely.
If Washington county has RF control stations, not wireline, for consoles, it would be possible for him to stun the RF control stations and disable the dispatch center consoles. It sounds like this is what he did.

A silly game that will get him 3 hots and a cot for a long time.
