Weird Moment

I had a weird thing happen to me. I was reading some of the replies to this thread and someone said they picked up a baby monitor and heard people making out. So what happens to me one or two days after reading that? I turn on my scanner, and pick up a baby monitor and hear people making out. I just figured you guys might get a good laugh out of that. You have to laugh at those people who think that just because they turned off the receivers that the transmitter is no longer working. It's kinda funny when you have your own receiver, called a radio scanner. .

Out of curiosity, what is the range of baby monitors anyway, it's defiantly not as far as cordless phones right? Also do the 900mhz and 2.4GHZ share phone frequenices like baby monitors and old cordless phones used to?

Last night Carrollton FD had another one (come to think of it there are a lot here, may look into putting up a feed soon):

"Units enroute, you're responding on a 30 year old male who was.....ummm....having relations with his wife. He passed out, fell on the floor and injured his head."

The only thing that went through my mind on hearing that was....which one did he injure?

Sadly though, a few minutes after checking on scene the engine advised CPR in progress. Dont know for sure the outcome on it, but he went from PEA to asystole right as they got to the hospital so Im thinking he didnt make it.

Sad to hear, but what a way to go.

That's the way I'd want to go......Not really funny when you think about it but years ago I responded to a homicide where a guy and girl (gangsters) were having a jolly old time of it in the shower when another gangster blew the guys brains out right across her back. When we got there she was running around naked (completly freaked out obviously) with this dudes brains sprayed across her back and him dead as can be slumped in the tub.

Hillsborough County District 3 patrol deputies must be having a contest to see who can make the dispatcher (young lady) crack up the most on the air. They're doing building checks on all the Chinese restaurants they can find in their patrol areas.

"3Golf7, signal 830 at (insert Chinese name), and at the same time I'll be getting a (insert Chinese word)."

Obviously a slow night.

Recently I was listening to the Victorian country police and heard a couple of things.


Dispatch: "We have a report of a barking dog at XXXXXXXXXXX street, Morwell"

Police Car:" A barking dog?"

Dispatch: "I kid you not, a barking dog"

Police Car: "Isn't that what they are supposed to do?"

The other one I heard was a bit more serious but it still sounded funny at the time.


Dispatch: "A woman has reported that her husband has gone beserk and is smashing car windows in the street with a baseball bat. Apparently he has a history of snapping and having violent episodes.

Police Car (With young solo country cop): "OK, what's the address

Dispatch: "XXXXX Street, Traralgon"

Police Car:"Roger that, can I have back up?"

Dispatch:"Sorry, no back up available"

Police Car: "Roger"

Dispatch: "The woman has just called back and said her husband is ex russian special forces and is heavily armed"


LONG PAUSE

Police Car: "Please repeat"


Dispatch: "The woman has just called back and said her husband is ex russian special forces and is heavily armed"



LONGER PAUSE


Police Car: "Are you sure I can't get back up?"

Local PD units have been searching for a dog that has been roaming around acting very aggressive. They had sight of the dog, but then they lost sight of it.
I just heard this on a TAC channel regarding the aggressive dog search:

Officer 1: "I guess I'm going to clear in a minute unless I have another sighting"

Officer 2: "Yeah me too, I don't know what else to do until we get another call"

Officer 2: "It's different than a dude, he doesn't make 2 rights and bed down"

Heard last night on York Regional Police:

Officer 1: Dispatch, can I get another unit here to assist with traffic?
Dispatch Queues the mic but...
Officer 2(unit XXYZ) *walks over dispatch*: Unit XXXX copies.
Dispatch: Unit XXXX, let dispatch do the talking. *pause* Unit XXYZ respond to XXXX.

Pretty funny. The tone in the dispatchers voice was ever so motherly too lol

About 1992 here in Rockford, IL. Rockford Police were chasing a car where the driver was throwing those cocktails you know where you light the rag and throw it, one of the those homemade bombs, out the window and trying to throw it at the police cars and catching the streets on fire. The chase ended in Loves Park, IL., which is right next to Rockford, where Loves Park Police took over the chase and one officer stopped the vehicle and if I remember right the driver came after the officer, the officer stated that he gave warnings to stay back, due to the driver had a knife, and I believe the officer shot the driver.

Well, I was listening to a dispatcher from EMS trying to tell a EMS driver about a young guy that was throwing up blood.. it went something like this:

"HQ to unit XX, got a young white male throwing up blood, caller states he swallowed a light bulb..."

EMS driver says "he swallowed lightning bugs?"

Dispatch "no, he swallowed a light bulb"

EMS driver says "why would anyone swallow a lightning bug?"

Dispatch "repeat, light bulb -- he swallowed a light bulb and it is now broke within him and causing internal bleeding... please procede"

EMS driver "oh -- 10-4"

bout 10 years ago, I heard a private plane pilot on 121.5 lost in the fog and extremely anxious. a Continental pilot in the area figured out where he was and talked him down.
I think he was up in New Jersey and afraid of being over the ocean. that Continental guy was a hero.

While I was spending the weekend with my fiancee, we were laying in bed, listening to the scanner one night. The local police were called to the home of an elderly lady, who had called in complaining of someone that kept knocking on her door and ringing her doorbell.

Upon arrival, the responding officer discovered the person knocking... was.. *drumroll*.. her grandson!

Got a good chuckle out of it...

Also, another one, on Richmond Ky's trunked system, one night a few months ago, there was a call went out for several teenagers riding in shopping carts and lighting thier crotches on fire with WD-40 and matches in a local shopping center parking lot.

We laughed for hours on that one..

Heard this last night while listening to the Elk Grove Police Dept.

A woman called saying someone had just stolen her truck from her driveway, it was about 11pm.
At least 3 officers request to be put on the call, meaning they were responding to go look in the area for the stolen truck. An air unit was also assigned to this call and was en-route.
Luckily, there was a officer close to where the truck was stolen from, so he found it driving near by.
He stopped the vehicle, which pulled over with no problems.
It turns out the suspected truck thief was a repo guy who had not called the PD to notify them that he would be repossessing this truck!
Well, one officer didn't seem very happy about this and asked another officer on the radio if the repo guy knows that he just caused them to waste some time and resources for a bogus call.

I'm just glad I was not the repo guy, I'm sure he got a nice and long lecture...

The funniest thing that I have every heard was a female Telecommunicator that worked with me back in 1996 I believe...

Dispatch was for a Vehicle Accident with Ejection..

Dispatcher announced it as a "Vehicle Accident With Ejaculation"..... The room went silent when she stated this..... For at least a good minute everyone (15 or so Dispatchers) busted up laughing at this.... The entire Comm room was in total laughter at her mistake...

BTW this occured in Lancaster County PA which also has among its small towns and villages "Intercourse", "Bird In Hand", "Blue Ball" and "Paradise"
