2scents -“Why would you get pulled over if you do not have L&S and are not passing through any red lights?”
You wouldn’t have these questions if you read the whole post.
Here it is again:
“What it boils down to is the cop’s perception. I’ve been pulled over many times by cops during a response. Of course since I was legit – I didn’t get a ticket. In parts of NJ where they aren’t used to having people respond in personal vehicles, I’ve gotten pulled over. This was probably true once upon a time in NY.”
They don’t think e/o with a blue light is legit. They pull you over to check.
“I know that anyone can listen to scanners, however that does not mean that a member using L&S is not legit. most people do not have scanners and they complain because they do not know what went on behind the scene.
Also some members respond to a private calls in which they contact the dispatcher by phone.”
You take Dan L’caf Zecus to new level. There are actually very few private calls and most of these they notify dispatch via radio. What I’m saying is if anyone wants to document abuse, which I personally don’t care about, all they need is a scanner.
You can figure out how they work if you listen long enough. And then you can figure out who is abusing their L & S.
I wasn’t talking about anybody who has actually complained. I don’t know anyone who has, but I’ll take your word for it that people have. So I wouldn’t know if their complaint was valid or not.
