Pretty interesting listening, one things that seems crazy to me, they have to call out there positions all the time.

Why dont they have GPS?

A smartphone with GPS software can upload its position and the cost is f***all. Why wouldnt they have something like this?

Also, one of the police officers was on foot and have to ask for directions?, they cant give him a f***en iphone (or a HTC desire even).

Seems crazy.

Also is it legal to listen in on police scanners? If someone knew this guy and wanted to help him, they could be listening to this and know the exact position of all the police as they just did a radio call of all there positions.

They're yard jumping with dogs along Miles St near the railway track, he'd been spotted near Meninga Ct, but they've lost him now I think.
They have a lot of media around.

I know Sydney has more encrypted units because back during the cronulla riots they were f*****g pissed when someone stole one of the encrypted police radios and it was streamed online

What I got from listening to the police scanner for several hours is that they spend most of the time figuring out were they are and were the other cops are and then a bit more time repeating themselves because of s***** radios.

They just didnt seem real organised.
