I just removed the temp plate and put on the actual plate although I don't have the registration sticker or paper yet. I hated driving with an expired temp, but now I'm wondering which is worse; the expired temp plate or the valid plate without the sticker and paper registration. I guess either way, it screams pull me over. Thoughts? Should I put the temp back on until I get the paper?

I'm sure it's not a biggie, I still have his mini badge in my wallet and PBA cards from him and also NJ.

Thanks!

Heh. I've never put plates on any of my cars lol. I have a fancy shop plate.

Don't look for me on the road. I'll buy you donuts I promise.

Operating a scanner in your vehicle is illegal in New York State. However they have scanner apps you can have on your iPhone. Is that also illegal to listen to in your car?

Scanners aren't illegal here.

Our tactical channels are, but the dispatch channel isn't.

Everything we had was encrypted about 10 years ago, same for the FD and I think paramedics....seriously pissed the media off at the time.

I think they purposely leave it open for the news outlets. On our tactical channels is where we communicate with each other.

I just edited my previous post which addresses that.

PII data going over the radios is changing in Cali, at least. Will have to encrypt traffic soon. We have digital, but not encryption yet.

We went digital earlier this year and are still upgrading portions of the system.

In Smokey and the bandit, are you rooting for the bandit, or Buford T Justice?

Knowing that old dumb law, it probably is.

Go take the 35-question ham radio license test, and get the basic Technician license. Instant ticket to turn your vehicle(s) into rolling pin cushions covered with antennas, and gives you a free pass on the no-scanner law.

Of course, there's still the NY State issue of the cellular hands-free law, and how nobody knows if it applies to handheld two-way radios or even microphones.....

Any idea why so many Leo's don't want the Covid vaccine and are willing to quit or get laid off because of it?
