Its not the drug dealers they are worried about you listening too, its there
illegal crap the cops are doing they don't wish you too hear, that's the bad
cops, but the other reason is cops use cell phone to talk to each other,
because there radio's suck for reception in rural areas, and if they are
making a bust, they don't need those drug dealers know that they are coming.

I love to listen to cell and cordless phones. It is only illegal in the
land
of the free but not illegal in truly free countries. It is a good close
look
at the personal lives of other people. I have 2 radios setup that can
listen
to cell and a few months ago I was having coffee with some members of
the
local city police and gave them a demo. They just loved the way that
drug
dealers talk so openly on the cell system.

So true. ECPA is a joke wrt to technical issues - they legislated away a
technical problem.

I have a Pro-90, and a Optoelectronic Cub RF counter, I get all the numbers
I need.

Years ago, when cell calls could be heard on
scanners without modifications etc .. back before
there were CHEAP cellphone talk time plans ...
when people would say, " I will call you when I
get to the office or home, I am on my
$$cellphone$$." I heard a man on his cell, calling
a pay for phone sex number ... I thought to myself
.. As expensive as this call must be, he could
have hired a hooker ..

Is this the wrong type of post to make here ??
Sorry if I offended anyone.

Being that we both worked in law enforcement at the time we were able to
buy a device that attached to a programmable receiver on the one side,
and a computer on the other.

The software allowed you to follow calls by number, by cell site and
numerous other options.

You wouldn't believe how easy it was to pick off the criminal behavior.
Truly stupid criminals.

Considering cellular monitoring is a felony in the U.S. Don't be so sure
you can protect the identity of your informants. Especially under the new
Patriot Act, in the name of homeland security.

But in Canada the RCMP when asked about it say what where, how come, they
don't really care two bits.

All and nothing are big words..plenty of action on my pro-2032.
Perhaps you should do a little research next time.

Perhaps you should start out your writing career by learning to spell.

Nevermind that cell phones are ALL digital now. There is nothing
to be heard.

Troll.

Then you cant help hearing them as they YELL at the caller.


probably the best placr to find those types of callers are at the movie
theatres, but only while the movie is playing.

Before andd after the movie, they're quiet.

Once the movie starts, "Oh, I'm watching this movie ahgain right now. It's the
5'th time I've seen it becaues it's so good. It ends up by the main character
doing this...." and the whole plot is ruined for the rest of the people in the
theatre becaues of the spoiler announced as loud as can be on a cell phone.

I hate NEXTEL (speakerphone and the beeping) and stupid people who
dont turn down the volume!!!! They dont even realise they are yelling
into the phone.

Or the stupid Nextel users who don't realize they can shut off the
loudspeaker
and hold it like a normal cell phone? The difference is you just use the
PTT
button....

What ****es me off, is in council meetings where one individual "always"
gets a Nextel call. You would think he would turn it off for the short time
we meet OR tell them not to call, he won't be available or plain turn the
damned thing off. That is very distracting to see and hear when important
issues are being discussed. I swear, I "think" some do this crap to impress
others. "I" could give a **** less. It isn't something "new" that you just
"have to flash".

I used to have a pager that could be programmed for an alarm call. I
would always set it for about forty-five minutes into a staff meeting
so that I could exit to take the call. Big Blue

Right....and give the special interest groups another reason to
pressure Congress to pass additional restrictive legislation on
citizens. Shut up!
