So, I recently downloaded an application for my Android phone that allows me to listen to police scanner feeds from all over the country, in real-time. I haven't tested the accuracy of this "real-time" claim, but I am assuming that it is pretty close. Maybe just a little lag. Regardless, it's pretty cool. They don't have a feed yet for my ghetto-ass city (which they should, because Portsmouth is a cesspool for criminal activity), so I like to listen to the Columbus, Ohio Police Department feed, since I grew up in Columbus.
Mostly, there is just normal back-and-forth chatter between a squad car and a dispatcher. I haven't gotten anything super juicy yet, but I DID manage to catch a little bit of something that just made me chuckle.
Police: Unit 84.
Dispatcher: Go ahead, 84.
Police: Yeah, um... Are there any units nearby that ARE NOT allergic to poison ivy?
So, yeah...
I have a new respect for our boys in blue. They're out there protecting and serving, all hours of the day, dealing with drunk drivers, assaults, robberies, poison ivy.
