Sitting here watching tv. heard squealing tires then immediately followed by sirens. I hopped up and ran outside to see a cop chasing this car. they went around the block and stopped so i took off to see what was happening and they were beating that dude. NICE!

4/10/2010 10:33:58 PM

but are you still posting from an ipad?

4/10/2010 10:35:22 PM

nooo, i dont need one. we just bought an imac and a macbook pro

4/10/2010 10:38:52 PM

you live in the ghetto right???? i think ive asked you that before but you never gave me a response?

4/10/2010 10:48:44 PM

i wouldn't consider it the ghetto. it is downtown.

if it was a high speed chase couldn't it have come from anywhere? I mean it could have ended in Preston in Cary. I don't think that would mean that Preston was a bad place to live...

4/10/2010 10:56:53 PM

^ Yes. Yes it would mean that.

4/10/2010 10:58:12 PM

if you live where i think you live, and you dont consider it ghetto then we must have very very different definitions of ghetto

4/10/2010 11:00:44 PM

ghetto - a quarter of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure

There is quite a diverse crowd that lives in my neighborhood. There are five different options that I can choose from for wireless internet sitting here on the couch.

Are you a racist?

4/11/2010 9:03:20 PM

lol... from downtown to east raleigh, particularly along newburn ave. is ghetto as shit.

4/11/2010 9:04:52 PM

Interesting...I have been monitoring Raleigh PD, Wake Sheriff, and SHP all afternoon into the evening and have not heard of any chases...not saying it didn't happen, just saying that I would have known about it if it were truly a chase...I will reach out to some sources and see what I can find out....

4/11/2010 9:15:26 PM

I am west of downtown.

^ I don't know where it started but the dude was being chased by the police. When they stopped him they drug him out of the car and handcuffed him. this was also last night. not today.

4/11/2010 9:15:49 PM

^ Understood. I will still reach out to some sources and see what was up.
If nothing else it will clear up the true story of what happened.
Big difference from "Beating that dude" to "dragging him out of the car and handcuffing him".
I ain't trying to give ya a tough time just trying to figure out what really happened.

4/11/2010 9:21:05 PM

could you also find out what those 30 gunshots/fireworks were last night?

4/11/2010 9:22:07 PM

ok ok they were roughin him up for sure

4/11/2010 9:24:38 PM

^^Did that happen in Raleigh or elsewhere in Wake County?
Just need to make sure of the general location.

For those that live in Raleigh...you can download Google Earth KML files
that will show you the Raleigh PD District/Beat areas:
http://idek.net/1B.u




If I get any other info about above situations I will let yall know...

4/11/2010 9:52:11 PM

man fuck VIPER. can't use my race scanner to pick up wake county stuff.

4/11/2010 9:54:24 PM

The fact that he called it his crib means he lives in the ghetto. If he would have said, high speed chase just went by my house, then it would be different.

You can always listen to one of the online streaming feeds:
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?stid=37

I know it ain't the same as using your own radio but at least it is something.

And RR.com has mobile & ipad versions.

4/11/2010 10:00:56 PM

^AWESOME

My wife just said... "tell whoever that just showed you that thanks a lot."

4/11/2010 10:28:01 PM

^^can't take that in the truck with me

4/11/2010 10:29:59 PM

^you can if you have a blackberry (BBscanner) or an iphone (5-0 radio)

4/11/2010 10:33:02 PM

i got dat droid

4/11/2010 10:34:29 PM

haha droid

4/11/2010 10:37:51 PM

Droid has access to the RR.com live audio streams:

4/11/2010 10:38:34 PM

or (ty google) you could try this app: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-andreig-policestream-zjBA.aspx

but yea you could just stream the feed from radioreference

thanks dude

4/11/2010 10:40:27 PM

Only trouble with some of those apps is that they cost $$chedda$$
You should be able to access the streaming for free if ya follow the RR.com Wiki
info linked above
I mean some of the apps are worth paying for if they let you save favorites, etc but If I can help ya save the money I will do that...

4/11/2010 10:43:27 PM

^ slightly OT........

Any reason Wilmington area EMS/Fire has been reaching all the way up to the Nags Head area the past 2ish weeks? They dispatch on the same frequency (or someone is repeating) as Dare and it's been kind of distracting.

4/11/2010 10:49:43 PM

you have a list of wake county and/or RPD's ten-code?

http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/DXing_Above_30_Mhz

In the hobby we call it "DXing" and I have monitored lowband VHF stations in California
from here in NC with just a whip antenna on the back of a radio on early mornings when the bands are open

But I can understand if you are trying to listen to a specific frequency it can get frustrating.

4/11/2010 10:58:17 PM

do you know if/when other counties are going to VIPER? especially interested in Wayne and Person counties

4/11/2010 10:59:17 PM

^^^ thanks. Hadn't read much in the RR wiki but have looked around on the forums a couple times.

4/11/2010 11:02:15 PM

^^ Wayne & Person are still evaluating their options and trying to decide which way to go.
At least that is the last info I have on those 2 counties.
At lot of times the hold up is waiting for federal funds to help offset the cost.
VIPER statewide/systemwide now has near 4000 talkgroups (or channels) and keeps
on growing everyday.

4/11/2010 11:10:26 PM

lame

4/11/2010 11:11:49 PM

yea I wasn't happy when RPD went to viper. trunking scanners are getting cheaper though, i might invest in one soon

4/11/2010 11:28:40 PM

Yes the shots were in Raleigh
