[ARRL-OK] Information needed

Perhaps ARRL should notify FCC of this pirate operation.
They have no right to be there anymore than we are
supposed to be on their frequencies.

Shouldn't this be a matter brought to the attention of
the ARRL's Intruder Watch???

Hi:

      While the use of amateur radio equipment (and frequencies) by public
service personnel is illegal, it is increasingly common.  Last week, I was
visiting Nashville and scanning the bands with my HT.  I came across an 
on-going
police surveillance on 147.215 FM simplex.  Several units were operating in 
the
area, conducting a stakeout.  They were using police call signs and ten 
signals
and doing lots of chatting to pass the time while waiting for their target.
        73, Dave N3CI
