My mom works for the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and she has a police scanner on her desk at work. Every now and then I enjoy going in to listen to it, etc. I had no idea until I googled it but apparently there are lot's of websites that host streams. I wonder... is this legal?

Here's Winnipeg Police/Fire/EMS: http://64.79.218.41:9000/LiveWinnipegPoliceScanner69.m3u

And lot's more... http://www.police-scanner.info/live-police-scanners.htm

Interesting...

I wouldn't figure it's too legal.

...eww, someone is vomiting blood right now!

It's legal to scan, I believe, but not to broadcast. I think that's what I was taught when I was learning frequencies for HAM radio license.. *shrug*

This is amusing that we're listening to this.

Yeah, you just go out and buy a Radio Scanner from RadioShack (the one I got was about $150, but that was for a really good one.) Then you just go to the frequency that is listed, and listen in. The one I have you can set to "Scan" and any one on any frequency, or inbetween a list of frequencies I pick, will come in on the scanner, so I can just drive down the read and hear Taco Bell, or The Police. I also have prioritys set, so I can hear the Po-po over Taco Bell.

It's cool.

$150 for that? If you had your HAM license you could get a REAL radio for about that.

This could actually be very useful if you use it wisely. Shame on those of you who are making fun of this, you don't quite understand the possibilities this has. :p

It's amazing how stuff can be happening right in your own neighborhood and you'd have no idea! I want to get one of those hand-held scanners now.

The one I linked wasn't a scanner. It was a real radio (that you need a license to own legally in Canada!)

Sadly, its illegal to use a scanner in the commission of a crime.

But otherwise its generally legal, or exceptions are made for Amateur radio operators in states where it is illegal(New York comes to mind, and Michigan as well I believe for two examples).

Vigilantism is a program operated by many police systems throughout the US. Try going to a station and asking about it.

I like mine, it goes into the 2-5 GHz range, and I can pick up on phone calls.

Because he had a useful and relevant response to it. There's nothing wrong with resurrecting a thread under those conditions, the issue is when somebody resurrects a thread with "lol!" or something.

Half of these "live feeds" are just like chat rooms and shit if they make public announcements, they aren't the real feed..

Oh no, I agree. I went and listened to it too
