Question for you LEO's out there on Police Scanners

IMPORTANT stuff goes over the MDC, the cell or direct connect on our Nextels.

The barking dogs, ambulance assist calls and gas driveoffs are on an open frequency.

did anyone else use a scanner to listen to the old analog cell phones? i used to use one when i worked mids. we'd sit around near some dope houses and scan the frequencies. every once in a while we'd come across something good. we'd get a t-stop on them and have a dog search. granted you can't even mention the use of a scanner or even bring it up, but i did get some dope out of it. i also got to listen to a co-worker have phone sex! it's amazing how much info you can get listening in on cellular phones. digital technology ruined that. :(
