It turns out we weren’t the only ones surprised and disgusted by the actions of the three emergency response nerds in Colorado. It got the attention of local news media, and Colorado police.

View the video for the full report of the investigation.
This story was broken on eLightbars, and gained worldwide attention after it was re-posted on sites like this one.
May this serve as a warning to all those who think it’s okay to impersonate police or other emergency personell – even with the best intentions.
No formal net control, but here are the checkins.

Thanks to long-time friend of the site Kit N1MCC for submitting these photos on the Hamsexy Forums of quite possibly the best looking and most useless ham radio ‘command’ vehicle ever to grace these fine pages.
This truck (which, shockingly enough, is a POV), looks nice and has a nice setup, but is very ill-equipped to be any sort of useful mobile command vehicle.
The reasons are pretty obvious, but we’ll let you mull them over in the comments thread.
As always, click on the photos to make ‘em bigger!
Friend of the site Conundrum sent us these photos from the 2007 Durham Hamfest east of Toronto in Canada.
He stumbled across this beast of a truck – who’s external beastliness is nothing compared to the gold that lies within. Apparantly this truck is also a member of the infamous “Don Valley REACT” team we enjoy lampooning so much on this site.
Enjoy!!
The beast’s ass…. a late 80′s Suburban, maybe? Anyone want to guess how much it costs to fill this animal with fuel?
The lightbar and antenna. No whackermobile is complete without them.
The cockpit
…and this is where it gets creepy. Freelance paramedic, at your service. Complete with blue star crests on muliple reflective jackets. And, of course, no wannabee ambulance is complete without the jerry can sitting next to the go kit.
And of course, no whacking session is complete without ‘bodily fluid cleanup’Conundrum sent us a lot of stuff… so stay tuned while I milk this cow for every last drop Thanks again!!
