The scanner traffic regarding the orders to ‘burn’ was not meant for the public.

Anyone care to guess when they are going to outlaw scanners, such as they are (I believe) in some jurisdictions?

They did try to shut it down last night but my feed came back just in time to hear the whole thing go down. They also tried to make everyone stop ‘tweeting’. We might ought to start re learning some of the old technology to communicate again before the SHTF and Obama hits the kill switch on the Internet.

No need to outlaw scanners...Big gov are changing them all to digital encrypted instead of analog...

Eventually, you won't be able to hear anything on your scanners.

True, but some cops are so ignorant that they fail to realize that their coded squelch transmission has no effect on a receiver that has coding turned off.

The Mensa squad.

They cannot outlaw receiving a broadcast signal, but if they should start encrypting their signal, they can outlaw cracking the encryption.
