You haven't lived until you've sailed through Emporia VA doing 62mph in a 60 zone without getting pulled over.

If you have to drive 95, time it so that you hit Richmond/DC at midnight.

By the time three AM rolls around you'll be the gently caress out of that state and not hit any traffic enforcement.

Every intersection past Fort Lee is a town, and every town has a police department which only exists to write tickets.

Not to mention that there's always construction going on with 95. Depending on where you have to go, sometimes it's better to just drive around DC/Northern VA by taking 301 towards Annapolis.

And mostly this. Caroline county has a toll bridge and the police literally sit there all day and find cars to ticket as they slow down.

I think you mean King George, and their technically MD cops (MdTA Police) since MD has jurisdiction all the way to the other side of the river.

Edit. That is if you mean the real toll bridge, over the Potomac and not the Port Royal bridge on 301.

So tonight the assistant chief to a volly fire department in my county, who is a huge toolbag. Used his FD radio to scan our law channel and notify his buddy who we had gotten a tip about driving drunk that we were looking for him and gave updates to him about where we were in the county. is there generally any laws about this? At the bare minimum we are gonna throw a poo poo fit and try to get him kicked off the fire department, we always suspected he did this but this is the first time we have caught him in the act.

Just about every state has a "use of police radio in the commission of a crime" criminal code.

That said, charge him with conspiracy and-or obstruction. That ought to shake the branches a bit.

Yeah I would say that's probably an easy obstruction charge. I'm not sure how aiding and abetting works in your state (or your country for that matter) but he may also be criminally culpable for that as well.

yeah we are looking into obstruction. The lovely issue is local politics is gonna come into play since his family has been here since whatever prison wagon they were on broke down and he has been on the fire department for a long time. Best we are probably gonna get is a slap on the wrist and our law main removed from FD radios.

How did you even catch him doing this? A witness came forward? It must have been pretty blatant if you suspected it previously.

caught the drunk driver on a stretch of road with no turn offs and he blabbed. We started suspecting it when he would show up to medical calls that get paged out that never go over the fire channel and the only way he could know about it is if he was scanning on a portable.

I would think obstruction, aiding, and conspiracy to commit.

If the local PD squashes it tip off state police and whatever state agency runs fire.

More than likely it won't end up with charges just hopefully getting our channel out their radios since half the fire department spends their nights in the bar and probably do this themselves. The worst part is the guy he was tipping off was a .25 so it wasn't even like he had a few beers and was tryin to drive.

You'd get loving crucified for that over here. Misconduct in a public office almost always carries a prison sentence.

One of my coworkers told me this story today...

Her husband is a firefighter. The other night they received a call in the middle of the night about a woman having breathing issues. They responded to the apartment building and were greeted by the person's neighbor, who, in a panic, directed them to the apartment. When they arrived, there was a sign taped to the door that said "I CAN'T BREATHE." They figured out pretty quickly that this was related to the #icantbreathe stuff but decided they were obligated to at least investigate and make sure she was okay since the neighbor had called 911 after all. They entered the apartment where the woman was asleep in her bed and ended up scaring the poo poo out of her. She was obviously fine after the initial shock.

The end.
