Odd??

Would it be weird to go up to a VA cop and ask him to key up his radio so i could find the frequency he is using?

It would be a lot of things. Weird is probably one of them. :lol: Setting in a good location and using some kind of close call function would be a little better.

I would not do that. Things are different these days. Good chance you may get a hostile response.

Try it and tell us how it worked out for you.

Depends.

Do you work there?

Not at all, people do this to cops all the time. That would be a wonderful community-based thing to do.Cops love community based policing particularly those who work for 'specialized' federal law enforcement agencies.

You could probably capture it on CC when he was running your name just before she/he put you in the back of the car.

On the downside, you might not have the use of your hands to control the scanner.

In support of this cutting edge social experiment, I hereby firmly pledge .50 cents toward your bail should the unforeseen occur.

Lets us know how it goes.

Imagine our relief. It doesn't seem like a bright thing to do.

Because posting a message in a state thread isn't nearly as lazy as getting out of the house and actually interacting with someone in person.
