Larchmont_Boy said that a police commissioner on scene ordered the ticket written. I don't know how it is in Sullivan County, but in Orange County a police commissioner is a civilian oversight position, like a fire commissioner, and has NO authority on a scene.

The tickets have since been dismissed. Not much of a story there

Nice shots.

Definitely true, between my OEM job and the HAZMAT Team I keep a "go kit" in my car and another by the front door of my apartment in case I am going to get sent in for a few days. Extra BDUs, an old pair of boots as a backup, SOCKS, a few MREs, toiletries, a towel,

Hi all,
I've decided to reorganize my scanner's bank of frequencies because it has become too cluttered and I can no longer find what I am looking for. I am basically going to delete most of what is there and start over.
I have heard that the listed frequencies on RadioReference are not that accurate, so I am coming to you guys and asking for your assistance.
When you click on the following link, you will be led to an editable chart of locations that I would like the frequencies for: https://docs.google....1PDi9otFzo/edit
Please type in the frequencies that you know for certain as well as any details that are not included in the initial chart setup (i.e. if its a paging or operations frequency only, etc.) Let me know if you have any questions.
Happy buffing!!
