  1. In NY as far as today's "field programable" scanners, there is no such thing as being authorized they're illegal to have in a personal vehicle, being in the "field" just gets you on the better side of a cop when he pulls you over and sees it, they usually will cut you some slack if you are in the "field." If you have an old scanner that is not field programable and you only have fire and ems channels, that may be legal, I don't know. Certain people are allowed to have them, such as peace officers and licensed HAM radio operators. Chiefs and officers can have them, but they usually just have radios.
  2. So ahhh.... can we leave things in non 60-control terms so the rest of us can understand what others are saying lol
  3. Wait a sec, its not just the family of the DOT it is any higher up in the town that has enough say (MONEY). Take for example the reason that the crossing on the Taconic were shut down in Dutchess County. Did they need to be shut down, yea probly but the real reason that they were shut down was one of the School officials family members ran the stop sign at carpenter road and got killed, but even though there were several others killed there it took someone with enough "status" to be affected then the whole word stops for them. Good old world we live in.
  4. That Gallardo can "only" do 196 mph so the charger is lucky to see 165 mph

  6. Check the Constitution I think (know) it says there that the federal government out ranks the state or local governments then again the goverment does tend ignore constitution these days **cough cough** Patriot Act. But besides that yes it is an old blue law that really doesn't hold much anymore
  7. Well not in Westchester, but up in East Fishkill (Dutchess) we cover about 54 square miles, with a population of around 30,000. We have 4 main Fire Stations, 2 sub-stations and our district headquarters/training center. Overall we have about 40 peices of apparatus to cover such a large area. We also have a Rescue Squad, Fire Police, Special Operations teams, Fire Investigation team, and a Support Group. We are completely volunteer with about 300 members total.
  8. I know it does not come out until tomorrow (April 28), but we always get prereleases for everything up here at college. Anyway I watched it last night and I had very mixed feelings. I can tell you this and also ask you this; do not pay to see this movie, I know that some of the money is going towards the families of the victims, but this is just making some movie company rich. Some people may feel that it is wrong to watch it period and I completely understand why. It was a decent movie, but somethings are a little far fetched to give it a better plot. Just my 2 cents
  9. Lamborghini might have made it
  10. It's a good way to keep an updated fleet especially when its insurance $$$$
  11. I think it is the first cop car ever that has had decent looking rims though
  12. I would have thought that dodge would have had the NYPD charger at the auto show for some good publicity but maybe it wasn't done in time.
  13. Any leaks/news on this, would they be staying with Alamo

  15. I love all of these Red Sox fans, they win ONE World Series and they think they are all high and mighty and the Red Sox are the best team in the world, and what really gets to me is the fact that they're still milking that ONE win and they will continue to do so.

  19. I think RED would work better but if thats their tradition so be it.
  20. I wonder how long it takes the Greedy Oil companies to pay off some congressman to fight that the ethanol should NOT be allowed because it'll hurt their business.
  21. I have been thinking, why would they put a GPS in them if they are illegal to operate in a vehicle (At least in NY)
  22. That was on a racetrack of course right
