You're kidding right. You class that as comedy? :blink: I'd understand if it was a pic of a heap of Police Cars lined up out the front of a Krispy Kreme store or something, but a totalled TMU car from those circumstances does not make something comical. Must just be me getting old. :huh:

Any reason why you didn't call the Police yourself, especially if you noted the Security and Hotel took no action? Sure it might not be your responsibilty, but why not, given the apparant in-action of other parties? Or if they did, just to be sure.

I'd say he is right. We are a lucky country. :) However yes it seems a tad weird it is coming through the scanner stream as it is.

From the ACMA Database Melton Shire Council RX 155.175 / TX 150.575 (50W) RX 475.225 / TX 470.025 (1W) RX 454.600 / TX 464.100 (5W) Melton Flying School 124.200 I could be wrong but from memory Melton or Bacchus Marsh Taxis used to have a freq in the 460MHz range and it had phone interconnect capability. But like I said I might be wrong and be thinking of another area up that way.

That is called Smart Policing. Also you are a former police officer and whilst he might of known this he might not have known why you're an 'ex' officer. For all he knew given a lack of information you might be an 'ex' becuase you are a raving looney. (Not saying you are, but how was he to know for sure? Plenty of bad / crazy / arrogant ex-officers out there.) You said it yourself. He handled it pretty well. You've also admitted to being "belligerent and being quite rude in answering and Not following his instructions". Didn't you ever ever handle a situation in a similar manner during p

Nothing to be sorry about mate. Was not intended at anyone in particular. How did you end up going with the Systems down your way?

Hi All, Over the last few days I've caught up with 2 people and 1 organisation and assisted them with their scanner set up. Am happy to help, but please do not get annoyed or frustrated with me if I can not get to you straight away. I work for a living and am basically on call 24hrs a day, and at the end of the day that is what pays my bills. Hope those of you I've caught up with understand the system a little better. Feel free to contact me if you get stuck again.

What area you in? (I'm also in Vic) I can catch up with you and help you out if the locations suit us. My number is in my signature. Feel free to call.
