Music in your patrol car?

[Wolfman]

We have an AM/FM radio. Some of the officers, at their own cost, hooked up SIRIUS (sp?) and some have a connection to their computer (antennae broadcast) so that they can play music files on their radio.

Nothing says cool like a high-speed chase blaring "Highway to the Danger Zone" :D

Our cars have stock radios. Most of us on nights also have SIRIUS. I have never missed a call because I was rockin' out.

I was amazed (although scared) at the changes in Police cars since i did the ride alongs way back in the 80s. Doing 75 mph on US13 (speed limit 55) watching the Trooper shop for Bass boats on his laptop while JayZ was blaring on the radio. I know each officer is different but this Trooper, in my opinion was no different then the people he arrest. I forgot, he also drove the car slouched over leaning to the right. All you guys here that have replied to this post seem reasonable with the music deal. This was probably a bad apple. I will always respect the badge. I have to reserve judgement on the man.

People always had the tendency to walk in front of the radio car too causing me to slam on the brakes when I was transporting a perp who was running his/her mouth. Kind of ironic :rolleyes:

What a coincidence. I tell them when I put them in my car..."You are being recorded and plexiglass in front of you is face proof." :D

Yep, unfortunately we have to recruit from the human race. There are some morons out there with badges and guns..... I've worked around more than a few...:mad: Generally they get promoted and off the road fairly quickly though.

... Generally they get promoted and off the road fairly quickly though.

Ain't that the truth... and they make policy and stringently enforce all of the rules that they themselves broke into unrecognisable pieces...:mad:

wow NYPD is looking better I have a AM/FM CD player in my Impala as does every one else who has the newer ones. The older impalas had AM/FM tape players and the Crown Vics always had AM/FM

My 08 Impala has a nice am/fm CD player as standard equipment

I drive an Explorer. It has a tape deck and a CD player. My tastes are very eclectic. I have Delbert McClinton in the tape deck and Janis Joplin in the CD player. Of course it also has the am/fm. We aren't permitted to install the sirrus or similar type radio recievers. You know how that goes though.

With the mp3 player sized sat rads, remotes and rf txmitters, yeah I know how it goes... ;)

I never listen to am/fm radio while on duty. I also don't care for riding 10-4 with someone who listens to am/fm while on duty.
