You were listening to it. This guy's scanner is um... scanning multiple talkgroups / channels. If they switched to an alternative he'll have to swamp the channels he's scanning, or if they switched to an encrypted channel you're SOL.

Sounded like the helicopter 'downlink' was being streamed and the cops were concerned about that, as opposed to the scanner

I will admit I don't know the tech in use here, but I thought the police scanner is just a standard radio channel

Just curious, is anyone having trouble with websites loading in general? Or is it just me?

Oh yeah, agreed. I don't think they were talking about the audio, although I have heard more than a few officers refer to their transmissions as uplink / downlink.
