Impersonator ranks over 50 grand in equipment


Recommended Posts

Ok folks. Besides the illegal issues in areas if you have a thing for hobby of scanners, radios, or have a light fetishes please just please keep it at home. Having a collector fetishes or hobby is one thing but to desk out your own car or suv like below tends to be on the whacker side and issues upstairs. I still do not know why these people do this. Either criminal gain or mental health issues.  But trust me if your a volunteer fire or want to be a cop later please do not have equipment or lights screaming whacker status. Trust me when I'm off I don't want anything related to work around. Unless your a on call VF and need lights go through proper channels get all cleared properly and your drivers license endorsement for emergency equipment and vehicle operations. If you don't have use for it legitimatelythen simple you don't need it on your pov. This guy ranked over 50 grand in it. There is more I think to it and he obviously had a hand in few areas whether it was inside a department or the good old kid that people would give him cerain items to collect. He obviously used items for criminal gain as he wrote citations with a po box address. Please though for the love of god don't do this. Not only is it illegal it is also self humiliating and dangerous and not to forget ranks your mental status in the kookoo club. It also guarantees a no federal job later, no hire for public safety including fire or ems. Just don't do it.

I will add also, to me it is apparent he may have used the one website well known for scanner information. Though this is my speculation it wouldn't surprise me but i do know these newer scanners run off that sites database. With that I will add this type of activity weighs in heavy regarding encryption and believe me many areasons keep a eye on that site specially the system admins of these complex radio systems. I say this due to the fact with numerous issues going on in our time these days leading to our  county going to encryption and the top off was a guy did this also like in the link a town over pulling people over then going into a ihop blaring a radio with county traffic on it loud all the time which topped off to the decision a month later we were issued new equipment and had to have our old equipment programmed to strap encryption. I wouldn't be surprised if that county or city does the same route our entity decided to go to. Many think it costs allot of money when they truth is on contract a agency can get a full option radio with several forms of encryption for no extra cost in large contract orders. Just a thought to keep in mind if you enjoy the hobby of scanners and you run into a whacker.
