Broadcastify pulled the Baltimore City PD feed, not only is it offline, it's no longer listed in the menu! This just happened. I was tuned in for approx an hour to listen to the ongoing police situation and mid scanning the feed went offline. still had the link in my tabs.. here it is incase they bring it back.

Apparently it was taken down due to broadcasting of police tac channels, which is a violation of the terms of service.

This seems to be a gray area. In the first several minutes of a crisis the main patrol channel could be utilized for sensitive radio traffic. At times they will then move normal traffic to another channel instead of moving the personnel involved to a TAC channel. If your stuck at work and your feed broadcasts sensitive info I guess your out of luck.

As a system administrator I am not sure I understand the concept of not permitting TAC channels to stream. If they are sensitive they should be encrypted and if they are encrypted no one except the SA/User Agency could provide it in a feed.
