Notice the pictures and videos people take of accidents while driving that are posted on his FaceBook page. I used to make comments about that and now I can no longer comment on his page. From what I was told, the Macomb County Sheriff Department was looking into the pictures and videos that people were taking while driving and posting them on Macomb County Scanner. The evidence is right there - you're gonna record a short video of an accident while driving (distracted driving) then post it on FaceBook? Brilliant. Yeah, cause another accident because you're recording a previous accident with your phone while driving. Not too bright.
I've seen some of his postings and immediately thought that it should not have been posted, at least not in the timeframe they were posted. I'd hate to be subscribed to his page and see a photo of a close friend or family member's car involved in a serious accident before I received any notification from the authorities or family about the incident. Especially if any incorrect information about the accident were included in his "report".
It's people like this (and other reasons I won't go into here) that lead to agencies shutting out the public.

He (Macomb Cty Scanner) posted pics of an undercover operation a while back. A friend of mine who is a police officer commented on the pics that it was not a good idea to post them. His response: "LOL"
Report it to Facebook itself .his post and page in general could harm first responders law enforcement
In my opinion .these people give our Hobby a bad name
This is the same guy who a couple of years ago at Sterlingfest was using his phone to record an incident where the police were in the process of removing an unruly male from the fair. During the recording, PD asked him to move away from the incident. He gave them trouble, and almost ended up arrested himself. This guy is an absolute jerk. And he's got sponsors now!
