We spoke about the dangers of using commercial radios on Session 81 of the podcast
In this podcast, we talk about an actual incident of stolen radios that occurred in the Ohio MARCS P25 System.
Several people were arrested for “stealing” and “pirating” stolen radios IDS that belong on the OHIO MARC Trunk Radio System.
Those arrested were charged with the following:
Engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity Aggravated theft Unauthorized use of computer, cable or telecommunications property Criminal simulation Impersonating a peace office
What You Need To Know
Remember - this is now on the radar. People have been charged with possessing, selling, and programming commercial radios.
If you want to monitor a trunk radio system, you are far safer to do so with a communications scanner and not a two way radio. If someone sees you using a two way radio, it can look suspicious.
And now that people have been charged with this, what is to say there won’t be more people in possession of personal two way radios that are monitoring a trunk system find themselves in trouble with the law as well.
It is better to be safe than sorry!
