Device that spots police vehicles near you
Discussion
Why would you ever need this dont drive like a D
k when other people are around for you to kill and you wont have an issue. I strongly suspect that its a complete con anyway. If your in a very built up area its going to go off every 5 minutes as there is always an emergency services about. "UK distributor CBS Automotive claims it will prevent accidents by alerting drivers to emergency vehicles rushing to incidents" So the blue lights and loud siren dont already do that. BIG EXPENSIVE CON wouldn't be surprised if its nothing more than a few LEDs a battery set to go off at random times.

If mugs who drive like fkwits are gullible enough to shell out a grand, then best of luck to the manufacturers. As has been said, Tetra is used by all the blue light services, and it will presumably give a false positive when you are in the vicinity of the masts. Plus, of course, it's not going to make any difference in terms of speed cameras (fixed site or mobile run by SCPs), CCTV or other motorists phoning in examples of shoddy driving.

Also spots everyone else that use tetra/airwave! Ambo, Fire, Ha Formula one teams plus the fixed masts!!

As the topic has resurfaced, I'll repeat what I said on the original:
If this monitors Airwave, be aware that Police, Ambo, Fire, HATOs and ISUs (Incident Support Units - barrier repairs etc.) all use the same kit.
Sounds like an awful lot of false alarms to me!
It would also be interesting to hear if Police would regard this as a scanner on Police frequencies, as that may open a whole new tin of tuna.

No. Pretty good day actually. And if you think that's an attack, I retract my previous statement.
As you have told people to read me other/older posts I'd suggest you do the same... I've not done anything illegal in years. That doesn't mean I'm not entitled to an opinion. If this is you on a good day - then I'm glad I don't have to deal with you on a bad one.

"Police knocked on my door...threw a mobile in the fire that would have seen me go to prison for years.."If this is you on a good day - then I'm glad I don't have to deal with you on a bad one.
