Police scanner app?
I’m gonna assume you’re not from the US given your lemmy instance. In the US most police radios transmit “in the clear”, i.e., not encrypted. As such, anyone can buy a “police scanner”, or a radio on the same band as police/first-responder frequencies.
In the internet age, there’s websites (and apparently apps now too), that physically monitor these radio channels and stream them online. Hence, a “police scanner app”. Hope that helps.
Having typed all that out, the only thing I ask is to let us know where you’re from, please.

One of the Mexican countries
Sooooo, Mexico or New Mexico?
Some time ago some American politician used the phrase unironically. Most speculated they were referring to Latin American countries, but since the politician was a republican and correcting themselves is anathema, we’ll never know.
Anyway, it’s become a favorite of mine to repeat this, tongue in cheek.
This is just poor transcription.
The full conversation was as follows:
Officer 1: “I like those big cats.”
Officer 2: “Yeah? Tigers or leopards?”
Officer 1: “Which is spotted?”
I like “witches spotted” much better
I thought it was about gardening
Officer 1: There’s a garden of nightshade
Officer 2: That could be tomatoes or potatoes
Officer 1: Which is potted?
Definitely a crossword.
Officer 1: Thirteen down. Ten letters. Another name for a cauldron. Starts with ‘w’, ends with ‘t’.
Officer 2: That’s a witches’ pot, Ted.
Hey Coach, did you get wordle today?
Officer 1: You heard about that massive flying butt plug…
Officer 2: You don’t believe that shi…
Officer 1: Which was spotted.
Pretty sure it was: Officer 1: arrest that stoner, he pirated Oppenheimer!
Officer 2: I got two guys here chief, both look like the hacker type, using something in their phones called “Lemmee?”
Officer 1: Which is pothead?
At this point if witches started attacking id barely even skim the article before going back to scrolling.
“Good for them”
