iRadioLIVE.com/LACityNews.com is based in Venice, CA. And there is a sister blog, down the street, Venice311.org. They monitor the LAPD radio scanner, and "fixed" the scanner to even pick up the "non-public" channels. As crime is happening in Venice, it is tweeted @Venice311 and blogged at Venice311.org.
iRadioLIVE.com will post an @Venice311 daily update. Here's the first one, with most recent tweets: (Mrs. Kravitz...eat your heart out. You WISH they had this technology in the 70's!) And, oh yeah...a lot of people like the comedy comment, sideshow. The tweeter takes great pleasure in the busting of illegal activity that runs rampant over the streets of Venice. (Which is why we both stay inside and tweet/blog, all day/night=the rampantness!)
