Dispatchers Say The Darnest Things!

One of the most enjoyable parts of my job is listening to the dispatch of weird calls. I need to follow John Farrell's 'alleged' example (I say alleged since he 'says' he 'has' funny tapes, but he's never let me listen to him. The bastard!) and start recording everything.

Here's a couple of examples!

DISPATCHER: Subject is 11-10 mary (wanted, misdemeanor warrant) for throwing a deadly missile from a vehicle...

?? Is there actually a man running around Vegas throwing AMRAMs at people? I don't know what scares me more. The fact that this man exists, and the fact that trying to shoot down other cars is only a misdemeanor!

Here's one Tony told me about:

DISPATCHER: Female had a baby in one hand and a 413 (gun) in the other...

?!?! That's scary in more ways than one! It's really NOT a funny situation, but when you hear a dispatcher say it like she was reporting the weather, it makes you laugh.

I will kick Farrell's ass tonight and get him to send me some audio files, for more humorous police chatter!

Also, A Day In The Life is coming TOMORROW (Tuesday)! It's rendering as we speak!! YAY! It's a 46 minute video, which may seem long, however you have to give me credit for being able to condense a nine hour shift into 46 minutes without losing anything.
