I am not a cop
7-16-12
Despite what many people may believe, I am in no way, nor have I ever been a member of law enforcement. I have no badge. I drive an old Sheriff’s car that was once used in Texas. I bought the car from an auto broker here in Madison. I pay for my own gas. I don’t get any compensation from the Sheriff’s Office or the Madison Police Dept. The lights on the grill of my car and in the back window are white, not blue. I used to use them when I was doing arrest videos. I would turn them on, usually on the interstate, in hopes of my car not being hit by passing traffic. I purchased the radio(HAM) and scanner (NASCAR) with my own money.
I hope this helps dispel any myths otherwise. If you doubt my words, feel free to contact the Sheriff or the Chief of Police to verify this.
Thank you,
John Ovenden – owner of Madison Voice.
Well glad someone has to remind the voice of his purpose, how awesome. Voice you are doing a great job and there are many that appreciate what you do. Keep on moving forward with your hard work. Who knows where it might take you.
Ok. I understand, but many others don’t understand your interest in reporting some of the events. Just remember your purpose, be fair and always be safe. Stay positive.
No. Ilike to watch events unfold on their own.
Are you a tipster?
