I have some questions about the scanner tapes aired by Global National yesterday. They are the audio of the suspected B.C. child abductor being captured in Southern Alberta near Crowsnest Pass. Does this fall under the radio act as it was re-broadcast on public airwaves in Canada? Today I can find no links to the feed on the Global web site. Maybe I didn't look well enough or they were removed. It was called emergency scanner audio.
Were the tapes from the Alberta PACS system, the BC VHF system or UHF ERT radio? I am inclined to believe most likely B.C. as it involved a Kelowna dog car and B.C. chopper. Did the RCMP give approval? I think not.
Were they in the public interest? It sure caught my attention even with the sub titles to making following the conversation easier.
Is there a RR or ScanBC feed for that area?
