PA systems and CB radios
At one time, I served on the Wayne Township (Ind) Crime Patrol. We patrolled and used our CB radios to alert our dispatcher to suspicious activities, and they would relay this info to the Marion County Sheriff's Dept. One night, I was on patrol, and pulled into a little store in our patrol area so my partner could buy some smokes. While he was inside, I was called on the radio to meet another unit to help check something out. My partner came flying out of the store with a wild look on his face. It seems the radio was broadcasting over the PA system in the store, and every word I had said had resounded through the store. We posted a note in dispatch about this problem.
