copwatch

Fellow radio enthusiasts and copwatchers,

I have aggregated a lot of lists of frequencies used by the United States Secret Service as well as other frequencies you might find interesting during the DNC. Feel free to listen to these and if you are able to garner more information about them or make corrections to the list, please do so and post the results for others to share!

Q: I heard it's illegal to listen to these frequencies, is that true?

Here are some photos of police officers who were present and enforcing the "free speech zone" at pridefest. The free speech zone was completely inneffective, barely anybody submitted to it.

Here are the images: Can you identify the car?

Here is the report I filed:

Justice For Emily Rae Rice

Denver CopWatch will hold a march and rally on Sunday, February 17, to call for justice in the wrongful death of Emily Rae Rice. The march will begin at 1PM at Bannock and 6th in front of the ER sign at Denver General Hospital. The group will then march to the City Jail at 13th and Bannock.

Many of you in Denver may be familiar with the case of Emily Rice-last February she died in Denver City Jail after her internal injuries from a drunken car wreck weren't caught by medical staff and police....7News launched it's own investigation resulting in these new developments.

Excerpts:
Prior to the gap in the [surveillance] video [24-year-old Emily] Rice is seen leaning against a wall inside the jail.

Immediately following the 64 second gap [in the videotape] she is seen lying on the floor with deputies standing over her.

From a local community member:

Congratulations to Ken Padilla and the Lobato Family for winning this key victory in the struggle against Police Brutality in Denver. As the article explains below, Judge Babcock ruled that several supervisory claims and lack of training claims survived Summary Judgment. This demonstrates that we're not talking about "one bad apple" (e.g., Office Rajan Ford, the shooter). Rather, the policies, procedures, and culture of the DPD have been indicted.

SUNDAY - October 21, 2007 - 1:30 PM 10th & NAVAJO DENVER COLORADO

• The City of Denver is still not telling the truth about Frank Lobato. Police entered the home from the second story window and Ranjan Ford shot and killed Frank Lobato as Lobato lay in bed on July 11, 2004. Police said Lobato sat up, but the coroner says Lobato was lying down when he was killed. Denver CopWatch wants the city to pay up and stop stalling the family.

Denver CopWatch will be holding Know Your Rights (KYR) trainings every Thursday at 7:00 P.M. at UNITY infoshop, located at 1145 Santa Fe Drive (1/2 block north of 11th & Santa Fe).

Our next Legal Observer/KYR training will be Thursday, September 20 at 7:00 P.M. at UNITY infoshop, followed by a CopWatch patrol "shift" (a great opportunity to get some hands-on training and experience) at 9:00 P.M.

In light protests coming up soon we encourage everyone to attend a KYR training if you haven't already, it is always good to know your rights when engaging in political activity.

A few days ago at Market Street Station I was harassed by the RTD officer for exercising my rights to:

1. Take pictures of RTD officers
2. Take pictures of public property
3. Take pictures from public property

I was approached and harassed by an RTD officer who said that it was illegal to:

1. Take pictures of anybody, including the homeless man in question, without written consent.
2. Take pictures of RTD officers
3. Take pictures of RTD buildings/property
4. Take pictures while on RTD property (AKA public property)
