[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3300627, member: 43724"] I have a long, sordid history with Moore police. In my highschool days I ran with the CB crowd in Moore. We used channel 2 and policed it ourselves (no cussing as families including children talked on the channel, no lewd talking, and echo boxes kept to a minimum). We also played CB tag (hide and seek with cb radios) and had gotten permission from the city council to do so. The MPD didn't like that we actually had permission and harassed anyone they knew was from around there and had a cb antenna. One day I pulled up next to a cruiser while talking to someone. My radio was legal (dead keyed at 5 watts but swung 30 on modulation). Next thing I know he pulls me over and tells me he is taking my radio for being too powerful. Told him no he wasn't. He bowed up and was like "Oh yeah smartass?". I told him 1) Only the FCC has the authority to seize radio equipment suspected to be out of compliance, 2) my radio IS legal and I had a SWR in my car so I could prove it if needed, 3) if he doesn't like that he can call dad on the radio channel that is shared by MPD and NPD and talk to him. The last part is what deflated him as my dad usually protrolled close to the moore/norman border and was known by many on the MPD. His parting shot was that I was bleeding in on his car speakers. Told him that cars (especially back then) used thin gauge speaker wire and it didn't take much to bleed onto them. He told me to get out of there and left. I have other stories but they seemed to have gotten better for a while after the early 2000's, at least all my interactions since then were ok. [/QUOTE]
