Borat Uses GPS

This is just too silly for words:
  • Commander in 017 ordered all cars on first watch not to take their 30 in a hole. He wants them out in the street where there is no cover or shielding. He uses the departments gps software conveniently located on his blackberry to find you from his bed and sends out a Sgt. to threaten you if you don't move. God save BORAT!
We didn't believe this at first. It is micromanaging to the extreme. Plus, we recall all the brass telling anyone and everyone that GPS was here to protect cops. It was to be utilized for our safety. It would be used to send help in the event that we couldn't get to a radio. It would never ever be used simply to fuck over a copper.

Enter Commander Borat. Member of the Blago Defense League, reportedly present when the feds served the arrest warrant on the former governor. We've confirmed via HQ sources that he had the GPS software installed on his Blackberry, that he tracks his cars at all hours, and he calls sergeants eight and nine times a night to chase down cars.

This isn't just a micro-manager, it's the sign of a sick mind. It's also typical of the Department brass saying one thing while they lubricate a fist to do another. And this, along with so many other insane moves by J-Fed, is exactly why we still haven't hit bottom yet.

in the past 30 days some nice pinches have been made in 017--- some were from radio jobs and some were on view--- workers will be workers and dogs will be dogs, nothing will change that.... seriously, please tell me that a commander of police has better things to do on their spare time than booting up a gps map and watching what squad cars are doing out on patrol--- none of us gets paid by the mile--- sitting in that car for 8 hours is the kiss of death, you have to pull over for awhile or get out of the car and stretch the legs....

The commander is a goof but the 017 Dist Cops are the worst when it comes to doing any kind of work! No wonder crime is up in 017. They even hate their fellow cops from other districts. Bring in a commander and sgts that will work with the few good cops and get rid of the bad apples. The commander mikey isnt working out

Is this the same moron who supposedly pouted like a little bitch when retired and not badly missed D/S Williams was shoved off the bus by j-fart?

Will you guys in 017 band together and hire a P.I. to rifle through this idiots trash or tail him and find something to put him away on?

The holier than thou are always dirtier than hell...

From what we hear, surely there are some coppers in 017 who are vile, vicious, vindictive and plain evil enough to get that done.

That or continue to enjoy being targeted, harassed and abused by a bully and coward.

Keep Borat micro managing. When not on a job stay off the beaten path. Keep the moron calling the sgts. If they aren't fed up now they soon will be, then apathy sets in.

Do it by the book boys and girls, let the system work for you. Remember your lunch and two personals. Get gas every tour. Due paper on all parking lot damage.

The stress will build until Borat strokes out.

Most of all stay safe.

FOP needs to include GPS use language in the contract.

Appropriate use of GPS information by exempts needs to be spelled out in a MOU.

Grievences need to be filed related to harrassement during lunch/break times.

Unless the contract specifically has language describing how GPS can be used, exempts/commander can do whatever they please.

The answer is YES they can tell where you are at! Ask your dispatcher via the PDT what your location is. They will tell you what street your on as well as what way you are facing and if you are moving or not!

Down the car because the left blue light is brighter than the right blue light.

Arrest someone, put them in the lockup, go into the locker room and go to sleep.

Call 911 and make up jobs that require you to park for long periods in a remote location.

How much time does it take to get into 017 anyway?

Enough with all the whining about your commander. i think there are 4 commanders in the entire city(that may even be a stretch) that are liked by the troops. Dont say how busy 017 is. I live in 17.. dont try to impress people. Its mayberry with a few more shootings. Be glad you work in 17 and not 11, 15, 7,5,3,8,2,25,4,6,10 and so on. Those are busy districts...those are sh*tholes to work in.. Most of those districts have aweful bosses to work for but you guys complain about working in 17??? pathetic. This department is so damn soft. Everyone thinks they have a right to everything and that they should be taken care of. Your a blue shirt.. sh*t rolls down hill and we always get the short end of the stick.

Hello out there fellow gang and tactical warriors!

Oh, it's true, it's damn true. Not only has Borat been stalking the lowly blue shirts under his command, but he's also equipped his blackberry to keep track of special Delta Force officers, myself included. Right now I'm currently assigned to the Simon City Royal Task Force Team. A buddy of mine that works at headquarters tipped me off that Borat was watching me.

Feeling one good stalk deserves another, I placed a special tracking device/microchip to Borat's take home vehicle. The other night, I tracked him to the 020th district. He was parked behind Banana Video. At first, it looked like he was alone, but when I shined my spotlight on him another head popped up from under the driver's side dashboard. It was Masters!

I'm no dummy. I got the hell out of there before they recognized me and made a phone call to get me dumped back to patrol. Unfortunately, 017 district officers better get used to Borat. He ain't going anywhere. He's just the type of "man" that this department loves to have as an exempt. A creepy, micro-managing, zero people skills, temper tantrum throwing, Blago loving jackass that knows nothing about contracts or procedures. Remember, he once went down to roll call and told the troops that if they didn't keep there activity up, they wouldn't be allowed to work special employment anymore.
Loser!

SCC says: "This isn't just a micro-manager, it's the sign of a sick mind."
---------------------------------
You're correct on the "sick" mind. Mike Mealer has a severe anxiety disorder and is probably suffering depression. I never cared for Mealer, but if he's suffering depression, he's in hell and I feel sorry for him.

Some may rip into Too Many Rectums for expressing sympathy for Mealer. But the progression to reach depression is:

S Stress
A Anxiety
D Depresion

Many with depression don't believe they have it. Just from reading this blog and Mealer's symptoms, the department should do him a favor and have him sit down with somebody from the Employee Assistance Program.

ok this is how GPS works \:

Radio signal is TRI ANGULATED via three to five AREA TOWERS located at various AREAS in chicago. Thus,if you are a beat car at lets say 2700 North Hoyne,your GPS signal would be received by AREA three tower,partially on the area five tower and MAYBE on the AREA 4 tower subsequently,the strongest signal is on the AREA THREE tower. Add to that the ID BURST at the end of a xmission and they know who you are and where (approximately) you are. The PDT GPS works off satellite actually and can "pinpoint" the car within 100 feet. The little red button on your radio DOESNOT WORK but if it did, it would cause an open key and a 30 second interval burst of your unit ID number. correlate that to the radio sheet and location of the PO can be narrowed down by beat but it takes a long time. The ONLY GPS system that provides INSTANT ACTUAL LOCATION is the GPS in planes. Accurate to about 5 feet but im assuming pilots are more valuable than Police.

part two: there are ENHANCED GPS systems that are phasing IN to the CPD where,like in Wisconsin they can tell date time minute second beat diretion (to 10 feet) and car spped and whether your emergency lights are on or not. Can it beused for officer safety? Sure. Thats what it was developed for but remember we are talking about Chicago here boys and girls.

This reminds me of years ago when working on midnights and the Sgt. would check you odometer before and after the watch, so we would go into the cemetery and jack up the right rear tire and put the trans in drive. Sometimes the plan would backfire when you came in with 300 miles.

Garmin GPS on my motorcycle gets me across country, if I make a wrong turn I know it within 15 feet. No problem.

GPS in squad car is many times more expensive and is useless in an emergency. Not even connected with the in-car cameras. Only good for after action shit. Trying to hang a PO later, no good for urgent needs.

Typical CPD good for shit equipment.
Pay too much, poorly thought out, ill conceived, doesn't fit our needs. To top it off it was all installed in the field by Homer and Jethro working out of their car trucks with the wife, sons, daughters and kids. Real fucking professional. Same folks probably did Skunk Holler, Kentucky Sheriff Dept.

The ONLY GPS system that provides INSTANT ACTUAL LOCATION is the GPS in planes. Accurate to about 5 feet but im assuming pilots are more valuable than Police.

The first scenario you mentioned involving portable radios has nothing to do with GPS. It's simply RF triangulation. The only thing you mentioned that is realistic is the data burst transmitted upon de-key that contains the radio ID number.

If our portable radios were equipped with GPS they could be set up to acknowledge silent "pings" by instantly responding with the GPS coordinates.

This type of technology is often used to disable stolen radios.

RF triangulation is hardly considered quick or accurate.

The commander is very sick person and needs help. Please send Mike Mealer for physical and psychological evaluation. This is not a joke the man needs help, look at the way he treats everyone, this behavior is not normal. The rage in his behavior reflects there is something wrong with him, BUT WHEN HE SNAPS,YOU WILL BE VERY SORRY.YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WARNED!

For those of you who say, he (Commander of 017th) is the "worst boss", you must be shortimers or only have worked in 017 your whole career. That comes with the job/// And believe me in reading this blog some of the bosses you think are such "great guys", trust me others have different thoughts. Get over it, you should be use to it, this job is not a personality contest. If you are doing your job, even the biggest "asshole boss" will leave you alone. They know who does the job!

Despite all of this you guys in 017 won't do anything. Why not as P.O.'s you stick together and perhaps employ some common sense tactics. The key is to stick together. As a veteran officer, it is so sad to see us the so called brotherhood not even stick together. Together we are strong. Divided we are weak.

Sorry pal, that was years ago. Not today. If you are doing your job the asshole boss looks at you as competition and wants you out. They makes your life miserable until you leave or become insubordinate and they move you. The asshole boss today is insecure, treachorous and incompetent. Years ago there used to be some, today its all.

This reminds me of years ago when working on midnights and the Sgt. would check you odometer before and after the watch, so we would go into the cemetery and jack up the right rear tire and put the trans in drive. Sometimes the plan would backfire when you came in with 300 miles.

This Commander is a joke. He sued the department and city to get his spot he did not earn it. Jody why is this man in charge? And in charge of a district of all places? Citizens, police and the community deserve better. When will the city stop promoting people because they sue or have merit and start testing and using knowledge, ability and work ethic as a factor for promotion...

Obviously, sir, madam, you have not had a boss dislike you. If that ever happens to you, I don't care how good you are, they will burn you. They have the power. Belive me, it's human nature. Take a look at what happenned to Christ!

This type of technology is often used to disable stolen radios.


However the new radios(the ones that tell you what zone you are on ARE equipped with GPS burst technology/ping. These do not operate on a satellite system but operate on a land line (hard wired) tower system where the radio position IS triangulated and sent to OEMC. For more details on "gps" go to radio reference .com

right, secret squirrel shit, your position is instantly transmitted to OEMC. they can't find you in an emergency with the GPS and now I am to believe the radio triangulation is the key?

If the city uses this stuff it will only be to stick it in some copper's ass, certainly not to help us in an emergency.

They already ARE using it to jam up coppers. The "dash cam" the "new" pdt the gps in the radios and hidden in the cars. Jody is tightening his reign on the working coppers and replacing them with "gel head college boys"

While you need a PhD to write an ANOV (apparently) now a days, back when thunder and lightning rained down on ghettos in Chicago only the following was needed:

A. A SPINE
b. A Set of BALLS
c. A heart

And STRICT ADHERENCE to the Following Mantra:

"When the screaming stopped,the dust settled and the smoke cleared......PEACE RESTORED"

Those of you "youngins" on this job will NEVER KNOW the sheer adrenaline rush THAT action brings. And for that I say a prayer for YOU.
