i've finally found a cause...

The Brians had Melissa and I over for dinner last night and somehow, we discovered that you can listen to a police scanner online. Needless to say, my co-workers are about to hate me, because I'm going to be on this scanner thing 24/7.
But one cannot, I am horrified to report, listen to San Francisco police shit online.
With whom do I speak regarding this appalling and sad state of affairs? Who has a scanner or CB radio anymore? Not me. You know what I do have? A goddamn laptaop. And you know what I wanna do with it? Listen to the po po.
Don't my taxes pay for things like this kind of necessary transparency? This is San Francisco! Shouldn't our police force be equiped with the most up to date advances technology has to offer? Shouldn't I be able to be the 21st-century version of the old dude on the porch listening to the police scanner while widdling something handheld out of wood?
Can we get this on a ballot? I'll campaign the shit out of it, I swear. Until then, hello criminals of San Diego!

We were too lazy to turn it off, so for about an hour after you left, we had the San Diego police radio blaring through our house. Wonder what our neighbors think.

(By the way, the Evidence Clerk came back from her break and was able to coordinate the evidence booking. I knew you needed that loose end tied up. It was riveting!)

You should get a police scanner radio and go totally old school with this. it is way better than COPS.

Whittling. Not widdling. FYI.
