"Good for them"
I live in IN, across the river from KY. This sounds completely on brand.
Do you ever take the time to gaze across the river and feel like you're looking at a zoo enclosure?
any updates?
Turns out she was a duck, so they let her go.
Who are you, who is so wise in the ways of science?
Unfortunately not. Once I had tuned in they either weren't talking about it anymore or switched to an encrypted channel. In my mind I'd like to believe it's the second 'cause some crazy ass bullshit is going down with some witches in Kentucky.
At this link you can try to listen back if you know the time it happened. I love that scanner app. It pulls from Broadcastify.com
13 minutes before the timestamp in the screenshot's metadata.
Also, autocorrect thought you should look at the tomato in the metadata instead.
Autocorrect was just trying to get you to ketchup.
They burned her.
Perhaps he's affecting a Cockney accent and saying "Which 'es spott'ed"
The computer just didn't know what to do with the "innit"
Police scanner app?
I'm gonna assume you're not from the US given your lemmy instance. In the US most police radios transmit "in the clear", i.e., not encrypted. As such, anyone can buy a "police scanner", or a radio on the same band as police/first-responder frequencies.
In the internet age, there's websites (and apparently apps now too), that physically monitor these radio channels and stream them online. Hence, a "police scanner app". Hope that helps.
Having typed all that out, the only thing I ask is to let us know where you're from, please.
So wait need for speed radio chatter could be something street racers actually had??? I had no idea, I always thought it was kind of silly
Yes, although many departments are switching to encrypted radios. It's a minor political issue, because it fundamentally means less oversight, but also in the event of a major riot or coordinated civil unrest you also might not want to broadcast patrol routed unencrypted.
One of the Mexican countries
Sooooo, Mexico or New Mexico?
Some time ago some American politician used the phrase unironically. Most speculated they were referring to Latin American countries, but since the politician was a republican and correcting themselves is anathema, we'll never know.
Anyway, it's become a favorite of mine to repeat this, tongue in cheek.
You assume correctly, UK. Seems kind of crazy, but the other reply chain explains it.
Yup
What app is this, and do you recommend it?
Scanner Radio Pro. Uses the feeds from broadcastify.com which used to be part of the RadioReference network.
The more things change, right?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
