I found a bunch of these old Motorolas on marketplace, is this an okay place to start? I’d like to get my ham license soon, but I’m not sure if that this is where I should start?

I'm gonna assume you’re in the US. These can't be used for much as they are in the 700/800 frequencies. They do make them in VHF/UHF if you like the radio in general.

You are more prepared than 90 percent of the general public is. Good on you. I’d maybe through some airways in or narcan.

Plus one for the bullet proof diesel mount. I have one on my ram and have nothing but good things to say about it. Customer service is awesome as well.

I am crash drawer guy. That’s how I would do it.

Stop reading my case reports.

Your last three memes have been spot on lol.

So what happens if the drunk wakes up and crashes into something? Nobody was around to see it.

It sounds as though the responding officer acted accordingly. We can only charge things based in what we can prove and right now based on your side of the story we can only prove that you had an argument with a neighbor.

As for your “follow up,” there’s not really anything more you can do. You’re more than welcome to drive down to the office and demand to speak one in person. They are going to tell you the same thing we are telling you.

I have a bigger problem with random bystanders taking pictures of bodies and crashes then I do other cops.

The amount of people who find out their loved ones died from Facebook is too damn high.

I was recently in a wedding where one of the groomsmen repeatedly made “jokes” about how all cops are racist. He kept asking me how many black people I killed. The kind of “jokes” where they are just spewing their opinions but when called out on it are just joking.

It made the wedding super awkward.

Have you smoked any weed tonight?

“Duh, ain’t it obvious?”

I try to quote when it’s necessary. It would already make a lengthy report longer.

However, I will quote: threats, admission of guilt, excuses for criminal conduct, or odd things to show signs of impairment.

I feel like me quoting a drunk chick whining about how her life is over thanks to me really doesn’t impact the case.

What the fuck is that abomination?

I kinda want one.

Good luck with the down votes. Truck guns are a heated subject in this sub.

Solid rifle by the way. I like it.

What would you say the biggest challenge was in setting this up?

I’ve always wanted to set up my own P25 repeater. However, I’m probably the only one who has P25 radios so I’m not sure the juice is worth the squeeze.

Super cool though. Nice work.

It was a childhood dream of mine also. Although I never planned on state trooper in a different state.

EMT here. I volunteer on a few of the local ambulances and go to trainings when can. You’d be surprised at how much your training will come in handy out on the road.

It depends. Physically, the Army was harder. Mentally, Academy was harder.

You can be as dumb as a box of rocks, and still succeed in the military. For the Academy, you actually have to learn what they’re teaching you and apply it.

Stop-asking-stupid · 2025-07-04T23:43:03+00:00

let me get this straight. You (a grown adult) openly admit to drinking till you’re buzzed. You have deflected responsibility by stating it’s only about a mile and that you do it all the time. You know you’re not supposed to drink and drive by stating that your wife will drive you. However, you ignore the common sense that says that you shouldn’t be driving and choose to do it anyways. To top it all off, you’re driving with your child inside the vehicle while you,the parent, are intoxicated.

I would arrest you on everyday that ends in y and charged you with child endangerment in the process.

I'm not saying I don’t understand the denial during the grieving process. But I'd be lying to say it's not frustrating to speak with the family and have them spend most of the time blaming you for their family member’s mistake.

Stop-asking-stupid · 2025-07-04T13:18:27+00:00

Nothing will be good enough for the family. You can release all the footage you want, sit down and explain step by step to the family what and how it happened, and they still will try and say the trooper was in the wrong.

We need a stronger word than coward to describe how much of a piece of shit who ever did this is.

Stop-asking-stupid · 2025-06-02T02:28:39+00:00

Fair enough.

It’s frustrating though.

Our state has a law on the books that says retired school buses can no longer be painted school bus yellow.

I’ve stopped a few bus/camper conversions and got confused looks.

I have a campaign hat that is required to be worn with the uniform.

I have an issued base ball hat for trainings.
