excatly....
maybe it comes off wrong on the boards.. I'm no crime fighter but I am a good guy not a bad guy I will not turn the other cheek if I see something happen in front of me...
on a daily basis do I run calls I hear on the scanner NO do I listen to it everyday? YES why not.. it's entertainment some people like the radio I like the police scanner.. if I happen to be near and can hear that help is farther than I YES ill stop.. would I chase a robbery in progress? chances are NO it would depend on the situation...
as far as cops saying they don't like armed citizens .. sure thats tru.. but there are just as many cops, sherifs, swat team members, parole officers, any type of peace officer who think that we need MORE properly armed citizens so it go's both ways.. I've been trained, I'm a citizen and I took every legal proper step to do so... I have never once been told off by an officer and ive been there... in fact my buddy has an H2 with full strobes front and rear.. we can block intersections.. I remember one time on an accident we were first on we had the strobes set up and were doing a bit of traffic control since everyone else likes to look... the cops finally got there about 8 min later and it was so funny he parked his bike behind the hummer... then he was walking and walkd next to the truck but stoped half way through and kind of leaned his head around the back for a double take on the strobes.... then he walked by us and was like... nice truck... and went about his business .... we stayed until a tow got there.. in Las Vegas only traffic cops (motorcycle) will respond there are only xxx amount of bikes in town.. sometimes more accidents than bikes.. trust me they may not encourage it but if done properly they don't mind it.... in fact there is a thing here in vegas you can get your permits to strobe up your whip and it's called "traffic enforcment" so on all fatals you get called out to block the road with your whip while fatal detail does it's work....
