It's mikethecop on youtube
Mike, how do you feel about private citizens having police scanners either at home or in their car?
That's a great question. I've never really thought about it honestly. But I will now. I can certainly see a huge risk to having people have scanners in cars or as part of the commission of a crime. I can also see an issue of privacy. Cops, for example, are held to a fairly strict guideline on information that comes across that's personal. So, if you have a scanner and you get to hear what/where police are dispatched to, is that breaching someone else's right to privacy. As I spit ball a response here, I'd have to say that I lean AWAY from preferring scanners for that reason
