That sounds convenient. Are they going to postpone until everyone forgets?

Or perhaps until after the election?

Just heard on TV5 news update Metro has postpone the Coroner's inquest into the Costco shooting indefinitely.

wow this just keeps getting more and more suspicious. Watch yourselves out there boys and girls.

What would happen if a metro officers kid was in Erik's place?:banghead:

Mods are quick this time of year. On a related note, I am checking out that video.

Its a pretty good video, although a bit disturbing.

If it's the one I'm thinking of. It is a very disturbing video. I couldn't watch the whole thing. It just made me sick to my stomach.

Video? What Video?

TV reporter

A Las Vegas TV reporter contacted me via e-mail (YouTube message) and wants to speak to me about my "video" of the Costco incident radio communications.

There's a mad dash going on to try to determine if the audio is legit or not. I would assume that is what it is concerning.

Seriously? Who has the resources to fake that audio? And to what end? It's not like the audio incriminates or lets off the hook any of the parties involved.

independent investigation

sounds like time to bring in the f b i to investigate this. the blue code of honor is at work from what i can read but i tend to take reporters views with a large grain of salt.

what audio? please link web address. Never mind, found it on the other post.

And now that Cosco and LVPD has said that the Cosco security videos are essentially unreadable (isn't THAT convenient) it comes out that LVMPD doesn't even have squad car dash cams in most of their cruisers...

Funny thing, that...

But they DO have cameras on their Tazers (since 2007), which they failed to deploy in the Costco incident...

Curiouser and curiouser...

LVMPD also uses a dual radio system--a new trunked digital VOIP called "OpenSky", by Harris (which is one of the most notoriously buggy and unreliable police radio systems in existance, and their old analog VHF system. The OpenSky system is so unreliable and buggy that they left their old VHF system installed and use it for most day-to-day stuff.

Milwakee PD and NY PD have been trying to get their "OpenSky" systems online for nearly three years, and after tens of millions of dollars total, neither of them are fully operational.

Seems like a good radio system for a force like LVMPD. No citizen monitoring, sketchy reliability, bad sound quality, and dicey archiving reliability. Perfect...

The reason some PDs are switching to trunked digital VOIP style systems is that you can't listen to them with a police scanner. They remove one more level of public accountability by blocking out the people who listen to police scanners...

LVMPD secured the contract for OpenSky in 2006. It is still not fully implemented.

But it IS an "exclusive electronics contract" and since LVMPD didn't have pre-existing dash cam systems, once they install the OpenSky gear, they can't ad any new electronics to their cruisers, unless it is installed by Harris, per the contract....

This story just gets better and better...

Silly executives, sure you cant listen to VOIP traffic using a police scanner. But rest assure you still can very much listen to VOIP traffic using several sniffing products available. and with the right knowledge and tools one could sniff out their "super secure" voip traffic. I wouldnt worry so much that we wont have citizens out there picking up on police radio traffic. Speaking of VOIP if any of their solutions transverse cox or level 3 networks they are going ot have crap service as they load balance their backbones and data never takes the same path which will cause jitter, static, quality issues for any VOIP service traffic,

Does anybody know:

1. Where the Costco video storage media is currently located?

2. Where the LVMPD 911 audio storage media is currently located?
2a. Is it by any chance connected to a network?

I have tried to get video from Costco due to a lawsuit between me and the State. The lawyer who I have communicated with is from Washington and she said they had no video. I question how long they keep video and how many cameras they actually have.
