This app has gone to shit, paywalling the audio that I can go to a website or a police scanner to get for free, also it should be illegal as you don't even own rights to the content you're paywalling and it's public record, someone should really look into the legality of what you're doing. When it first released it was great for staying safe and avoiding areas where things were going down, but now you have paywalled the entire app and it's as about useless as a $5 hooker, the only guarantee is you're gonna catch something.
@Vickibearsgirl LOL, GO FCK UR SELF
The only person whose fault this is is the people who pulled the trigger plain and simple.
People really just pull guns out like it’s nothing. Deranged and soulless individuals. Rest in peace to those who lost their lives 💔
Idk if a car with 40 inch rims could disappear that quick.
I came here for this bc a honda with 40 INCH RIMS - huh?! Unless it’s a honda truck?
