This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

So wait need for speed radio chatter could be something street racers actually had??? I had no idea, I always thought it was kind of silly
Yes, although many departments are switching to encrypted radios. It's a minor political issue, because it fundamentally means less oversight, but also in the event of a major riot or coordinated civil unrest you also might not want to broadcast patrol routed unencrypted.
