Now, as far as the street lights go, shut 'em all out. Let these urbanites see how well their eyes really do in the dark. Ever have to navigate an urban area in a blackout?
The thing is, cell phone service covers the good and the bad alike. Looters and first responders alike. Police and perpetrators. Not sure there is a way to separate. Slippery slope warning: once you allow this as an option, it will be used at every justifiable occasion, then rules will be...
Complicated answer with slippery slopes. Since many people, myself included, do not have land lines, doing so to help quell an unfortunate event in my area would result in my being placed out of communication with the outside world. Or, any of the outside world outside of radio or repeater range...
BPD does indeed use P25 digital (as well as analog) in the 460MHz range. It's listed further down in the Radioreference page linked above. They also use encryption, and among the various schemes for encrypting radio communications I doubt they're using anything less than AES. Furthermore, a...
You can't do this with an Android (or IOS) phone, without some accessory hardware. You can't determine the radio frequency of a device that isn't transmitting. If it is, the best you'll get without a SDR receiver is the audio coming from the radio's speaker. Even with an SDR dongle, you'd need...
Anyone here ever been anywhere near a biker bar? Ever seen a fight where's someone got tagged upside the temple with a helmet? This dumb schlub went up to an advancing line of riot police with a potential impact weapon.
I was aware of such practices, but not aware that the DEC regulations were modified because of it. I still maintain that the letter of the law is patently ridiculous on its face, and thus should to any sane person be almost completely unenforceable in the latter half.
Well if that isn't a wide open definition I don't know what is. So I am hunting if I exit my dwelling and there is a wild bird on my front lawn who flies off at my approach. I disturbed wildlife, but didn't take it. Who writes this shit? :banghead:
I've rung my bell really hard a few times and never bled from an ear. My son has a serious amount of concussions, is learning-disabled, from a confusing lack of the instinct to break a fall, has bashed the back of his head on pavement, bloodied up the back of his head, but never bled from an...
The same. Also the same DEC that used to ambush kids riding ATV's on the North Fork, sometimes on their family's own farmland, by tying ropes between trees across the trail and then chasing them.
I would like to think that the DEC regulations mentioned only pertain to hunters, but this is NY, DEC ECO's have state police powers, and chances are you don't get a pass even if there's incontrovertible evidence that you were in fact not hunting at all.
Or so I've been told. I've got no soft...
But SAFETY! But EMERGENCY POWERZ! But, I wanna let the state take care of everything so I can go back to completely not caring about my life or surroundings while I watch mindless video clips on social media!
All the news that's fit to print (and a whole lot of straight up fabrications) and this is what they come up with? Slow news day? Mindless antifa cheerleading getting a bit boring? Or have the ever-shifting COVID19 lies, damned lies, and statistics melted their feeble grey cells to the point...
Saw that last night, my money's on infiltrating and firing on citizenry (doesn't matter who). Anyone in law enforcement, keep your eyes open, it's easy to play dress up, right down to the badges (for larger depts any way).
They're on VTAC11 reportedly, but I'm too far away to get it. Think it's simplex unit to unit not running off repeater. Do not know if it's digital or encrypted, all I get is hash opening the squelch.
I live on a busy through street in town. I'm nowhere that has anything to offer looters as there are no businesses or upper-class houses on my street, but if the cretins decide to take a stroll through residential areas, my street would be a likely candidate. My inclination would be to send...
Interesting idea with the dye, maybe something that fluoresces under UV illumination.... could dispense it with that Martin Mars someone mentioned in another thread!
Local chatter says the park getting torched was someone trying to make the protesters look bad. I'm not buying it. There's a marked tendency to shit where you sleep among some of the entitlement minded individuals that frequent this sort of gathering.
As far as the cell blackout in DC goes, it would not surprise me at all to learn that a whole bunch of cell providers were ordered to switch off for a while. The Antifa goons seem to primarily communicate via cell phone by all reports, so if there was a big crackdown it makes sense.
Some punks set Rec Park playground on fire, fully engulfed, trees in park starting to burn, starting to knock on doors and notify residents of possible evac due to fire.
There was some static about them hiking down the parkway, but I think the distance between things and the fact that the parkway is pretty pedestrian-unfriendly might've put a damper on that. Watch for stray pallets of bricks where they don't belong anyway...
One in Binghamton planned for tomorrow. From high school to Rec Park is the proposed march route. Heard from friend, apparently all the high school kids are talking about it.
I think the "abuse of power" is Bidoon abusing his position to lean on the then-PM, to cause the uncalled-for firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor, who then became the victim of, at the very least, an unreasonable termination from his job.
