I didn't see where anyone pointed this out but scanners are only one way emergency services communicate and they also know people are listening in. More often than not the important conversations are communicated over the phone. It is also important to note that since these agencies know that civilians listen in it can become a way to intentionally misinform the listeners.

Some ideas are just bad Example: Should I take this unmarked pill a stranger just handed me? No you probably shouldn't Example 2: Should I jump off this cliff with rocks at the bottom? Is it higher than 2-5 feet. Probably not.

Example 3: Should I eat this raw meat product that has been sitting out on my counter for more than a day. Probably no. I understand the point here, but some ideas are just bad ideas.
