All STL Area Police scanners now Off-line.
I’m really uncomfortable with law enforcement having the ability to block out all manner of record during these incidents.
I understand that it might be a tactical advantage so the bad guys can’t hear a scanner app on their phones telling the bad guys what they’re doing beforehand. But it also raises the question of, “Well, nothing we do from this point on is on the record, so let’s do whatever we want and get away with it!”
As I said earlier upthread:
Get rid of the uniforms, and get more non-law enforcement armed citizens in view of these animals, and this would end in fifteen seconds.
