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.
