Greetings,
I'm posting this evening to see if there is any interest among the scanner community to have an online scanner feed for the Bloomington (Monroe County) area. I'm willing to host a public feed if there is enough interest to justify the amount of my time it would involve, and also to try to gauge the number of client connections I'd want to support.
So, is anybody interested in this? If so, would you want the Bloomington SAFE-T site or local VHF/UHF conventional channels or both?
Before anyone asks, I don't have a timeline in mind as to when I might implement this (if at all). It could be ready in as early as a few days as long as a few months.
Finally, a question for those who are already running online public scanner feeds in Indiana (and surrounding states): have you ever been contacted by the agencies that you are monitoring regarding your feed? Have you ever been asked by LE to shut a feed down? I'm not wanting to debate the legality of online scanner feeds, I just want to know if it's likely to cause a problem with local LE. Obviously this will depend on the department, but I'd like some feedback from other feed operators if possible. Feel free to PM if you like.
Thanks!
Kevin
