    Another person from Ohio

    Hello, I've been reading these forums for awhile now, but never posting... because I'm 16 and I feel a little stupid when everyone else is a real police officer, but I figured I might as well, it may help me learn a little more if I can interact.

    My friend showed me this forum, because I am pretty interested in LE; my dad's friend is a crazy man who rides around on a motor cycle with a scanner finding cops at the scene and giving them pop and other refreshments on hot summer days... it's called "Pops for Cops" and I have gone with him many times, and I am always fascinated by the various scenarios, and just the general atmosphere. All of the LEOs I've ever encountered were great guys (and gals) and you all seem to fit into that aswell.

    Anyway, just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself

    Thanks,
    r0tc0d

    Not everyone else is a LEO, some of us are wannabes. Welcome to RP.

    I thought having a police scanner in any sort of moving vehicle is illegal.

    Well some of us aren't always considered "Real" police. I've been a border guard, security guard, toll taker, the list goes on. I was once even called a *%$&$#&*()()#*&&( ! :eek: :rolleyes:

    Scanners aren't illegal in your car in PA.

    Pops for Cops ? I could probably soak up some cold ice tea while out on the hot pavement directing traffic.
