ANTENNAS ON CARS   
 

Jerry Brenton McLamb amateur radio operator WB4VQP
and long  time JARS (Johnston Amateur Radio Society) members, has a  court
appearance scheduled for July 20, 2005 at 9:00 AM in
room 0000S  located at 106 East Anderson Street Selma,
North Carolina 27576. 
 
His citation was for violating
NCGS -20-137.2 Operation of vehicles  resembling
law-enforcement vehicles.

NCGS § 20-137.2 Operation of vehicles  resembling
law enforcement vehicles unlawful; punishment.
(a) It is  unlawful for any person other than a
law enforcement officer of the State or  of any
county, municipality, or other political subdivision
thereof, with  the intent to impersonate a
law  enforcement officer, to operate any  vehicle,
which by its coloration, insignia, lettering, and blue
or red  light resembles a vehicle owned, possessed, or
operated by any law  enforcement agency.
(b) Violation of subsection (a) of this section is  a
Class 1 misdemeanor. (1979, c. 567, s. 1; 1993, c.
539, s. 362; 1994,  Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).)


McLamb's car a 1995 Chevrolet Caprice was formerly owned
by the NC  State Capitol Police, does not have any
coloration, insignia, lettering,  red or blue light. Just a bunch of antennas
for his amateur radio hobby.
 
Jerry is asking that anyone that may have a car
with amateur radio  antennas to come to court that date
as a show of support. I understand that  most people
are working but if you have a car that may resemble a
vehicle  owned by any law-enforcement agency and if you
can arrange to take the day  off it may benefit all of
us. If you have any photos that you think may be  used
as evidence that other people have similar cars like
Jerry please  email them to _marlind-/[email protected]_ (mailto:marlind-/[email protected]) .
 
Jerry McLamb is also the owner of Johnston Emergency
Communications  Corp. This company is preparing a
specially equipped vehicle to provide  emergency
communications in communities when the regular lines
of  communications are out. Johnston County is one of
the evacuation centers when  hurricanes hit the coast
and when storms hit the area directly.
You  may email me - preferred or call (919)878-7385.

If you have come here to find out about the 785D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-785D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-785D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
