Is this evidence? Prejudicial? Useful? Or is this community outreach and warnings to criminals, that the police are on their way? And the added distraction of tweeting whilst working? Whatever next? Live police copcasts?

Nothing you said there is really bad.

>Is this evidence?

Could be. Notice the time stamps. Nice to have exact times logged on something you don't own.

>Useful?

Kind of works as a radio scanner. I would say neither useful nor not useful.

>Or is this community outreach and warnings to criminals, that the police are on their way?

Really? You seriously wrote that. Grasping for stuff to get pissed at aren't ya.

>And the added distraction of tweeting whilst working?

Now you are just making yourself up set. The supervisor probably allowed this. With an app it takes no more than a few seconds to send a tweet.

>Live police copcasts?

We all complain that there needs to be transparency, yet when a way to provide it appears we seem to mock it. Can't please everyone as they say.
