20 of the Wildest Things Heard Over the Police Scanner
‘The dead person is alive’
A police scanner is a nosy person’s dream come true. While yes, scanners can keep you informed on what’s happening in your neighborhood, they also can provide a little entertainment. Just ask the Redditor who listened to police officers fall over themselves as they tried to catch an emu named Houdini that somehow repeatedly escaped his enclosure. You can’t help but root for the aptly-named bird in that situation.
Other Redditors tapped in as well and recalled the wildest things they’ve heard when listening to the scanner, and we really wish there was video footage for some of these.
