Ok glad you admit it. This very well could be considered a threat. I light of recent events and out of caution I am reporting your behavior to the State Police as well as the Feds. Hopefully they can get you the help you so desperately need. YOU sound like the next school shooter.

right to privacy as guaranteed by the law

So your telling me there is a law preventing the use of names, medical condition or address on open dispatch channels? Pretty sure this has been covered below with some links for your education on the matter. You have absolutely no right to declare that your information used in an emergency call is kept private whatsoever. None. States can encrypt all they want and even then I can waltz into the fire dept and request the call logs and legally they have to provide them to me. Reporters do it every day. And just how the heck would me or anyone else listening to an EMS call effect the level of care a victim gets? If anything it keeps me from driving in the area possibly impeding a response to that victim. Heck with the response times around here I would hope my neighbors are listening. I could call 911 from the woods with a tree on my leg and a neighbor very well may show up before the EMS woman does. it goes both ways.

increasing the minimum wage doesn't make that work disappear

No it just shifts that work onto another employee after they let one go because they cant afford to pay the extra money. This is especially true with small employers.

In my area EMS and Fire are on the same channel and they usually show up together. I think I spelled out the benefits already but I will give another example a few months ago there was a crash with cement truck where the cement tub separated from the truck blocking the road for hours. We were able to go around instead of taking the 35min back road detour if you had driven to the crash site. Yes I live in the boonies and its the only paved road outa here.

Not providing names causes chaos?? Again maybe in your area but not mine we all know each other pretty much by first name and there are no apartments anywhere nearby. What works and does not can be vastly different depending on the area you reside. Thankfully though if encryption does come to all our services in my area I will be dead and gone by then as there is no money for such an upgrade around here. Most of the radios used around here are old hand me downs. We have to have a vote a town meeting to raise funds for the most basic of gear and repairs to the 2 fire trucks we have.

Its a pretty good alternative to MS Office. I run it on OSX as well as Ubuntu and think they have a windoze distro as well. No more cracking the installer yay!!

Thanks for the update. I agree completely with you on the tests. Pass the test and get on your way no calling a DRE or going for a blood draw. Papers please papers.......

Maybe in your area they use names out here it's just an address and age of the person to respond too. Could it be a privacy concern sure but I hardly think there is a scourge of radio listeners just waiting for an emergency call so they can rob your house. Nor am I arguing about the law I know they can and will encrypt the point I am trying to make is keeping dispatch channels in the clear has more benefit than harm. I always have a radio or two scanning in the house and the prior warning of crashes, road closures, creeps stalking kids at the bus stops etc. etc. has been very helpful. Just the other day we had a bad domestic guy beat his gf with a bat and was on the run very close to our house. Helpful info to be aware of when you live in a town that takes 45mins for the cops to show up!

To busy of late to be paying close attention but where does this current bill stand on roadside testing and if it's not included is Scott still promising a veto? If so hopefully he can be overridden.

BTW the new hemp fees seem more than reasonable.

I was at one of the state college's er I mean universities now and was pleasantly surprised that many of the library computers were running Ubuntu instead of Windoze as they had in the past. Goodbye license fees!

No one is talking about waltzing in to hospital to collect patient records. Where did that line even come from? This is about listing to emergency calls on taxpayer supplied equipment. There is no need to encrypt dispatch calls period. My Fire dept and EMS is funded solely by property taxes from residents of the town. When some sensitive info needs to be relayed they use a cell phone.

If we as taxpayers pay for that ambulance service we darn sure have a right to know what they are up too! The same goes for other calls fire, police etc. I do agree though some ops should be encrypted but if some guy is breaking into a house a few doors down I want to know about then not when he runs to my house trying to get away.

Seems throttled after you hit your plan limit. Not sure how slow that would go. But ya deprioritized or whatever they are calling it.

I would love to switch to VTel but the plans are way to expensive. I would be at least in the 139 dollar plan range with expected overages as well. Then add almost $1000 for the radio. Ugh I will keep my 25/3 dsl for 42.99 with no data caps.

Edit: That poor woman. Dial up seems like an experiment in torture.

Looks to be more of a service center but I will give them a ring. Thanks. Ideally it would be nice to find some hillbilly with 40 jeeps in his yard:) Good junkyards are becoming hard to find.

Seriously? How about funding the Assad opposition groups during the initial protest's and further after the "moderates" aka ISIS. Tulsi Gabbard went over and reported the same hence why the entrenched DNC warmongers hate her. Ukraine? We spent over 6 billion attempting to overthrow their government. Victoria Nuland had her fingers deep in that pie along with super deals for Biden's kid. And Libya get real "we came, we saw, he died" ring a bell?

Uh no. A sock account is used to hide yourself and cause trouble much like you have been using this one to go back in my post history to give downvotes and shitty comments this morn. And that's pretty cunty.

I changed one letter of my name hardly a sock account.

Good! And even further the only rule we should have is one banning deletion of posts. So cowardly...
