locating police cars - 2006/12/27 03:15 Every police car I see has at least 4 antennae. Some sort of signal must be coming from every car all the time. It would be useful to know if a cruiser is nearby. Are there any receivers able to locate police car signals (and I don't mean radar or lidar) and give a location based on signal strength? I have no intention of using this information to break the law. Thanks.

Re:locating police cars - 2006/12/27 06:19 I know there is some way to do it because when I was living in Japan you could get these little sirens that went off on your dash when a cop car was in the vicinity. When the siren wasn't on everyone drove crazy

I don't know anything technical about them sorry, but at least now you know it's possible

Re:locating police cars - 2006/12/30 05:59 I have heard of a device called a COPS detector. Apparently some radar detectors have it built-in. It reacts to the frequencies used by the low-power communication that records the officer's voice in the car. I don't know what range it has, but it apparently records all of the officer's voice activity for use later if need be.
