Listening to police scanners used to be a much more common activity back in the 70’s and 80’s. Back then, a lot of truckers and short wave radios (Ham Radios) were tuning in.

Reinforces the point that staying informed in these days requires that you seek out sources that are closer to the original information and are not filtering it to meet some unknown agenda. Another point that non-technical readers would miss is that the only way this info was available to VCScanner was that it was not encrypted over the air as a lot of agencies do these days while forgetting the public’s right and need to know. Encrypt tactical/SWAT all you want, just leave the general dispatch and patrol transmissions in the clear, IMO.

Interesting new way for Deep State disinformation to be disseminated as well.

Lord God, Americans have lost the ability to vet information. That even right-wing commentators never question the sources of the MSM vomitfakenewsflow is painful.
