    what about that kid on the front page of the new york times that bought a rose gold lambo and retired at 30… he made a police scanner app… no mention of how its been used to kill and rob and avoid getting caught. he’s pictured in the article weilding a flame thrower standing in front of his car, no mention of ethics.

    I’m not pro police by any metric, but cartels 100% use the app for murder and human trafficing, not a second thought, check out this 30 year old’s lambo

      Lol, what? More so than a firearm, that app is a tool. Scanners can be used to increase vigilance and engagement in a community, and to keep citizens informed about possibly very high stakes goings-on. In most places in the US, at least, it is your right to monitor any cleartext comms as long as you are not a convicted felon.
