I belive this is the kind of thing we will be seeing more of as citys run out of money.

Why don't they just give out the cell phone numbers for all the cops in Detroit and you can just go down the list - can't be that long!

Sucks to be Motorola on that one, nothing like having a system go offline in a place that has a few crimes a second it seems.
