BuffScan was impressed by this - likely AI-authored and narrated - recounting of the history of police scanning.  What's most notable about it is the deep dive into how it all started and the attitude that police had toward scanning when it did.  Spoiler alert:  It was viewed as a benefit because police in those days were hungry to combat crime and assumed humanity at large was more helpful than detrimental.
