Wonder What it Takes
04/14/2024
Another LVT solar powered portable surveillance system went online this past week in my neighborhood, and, more precisely on the very same block involved in last week's stolen car takedown drama. That incident seems unlikely to have prompted this deployment given the randomness of that event but I still wonder what it takes to get one. I am very curious about these contraptions and in general about BPD's pole cameras dotted throughout the city proper.

BPD Taking Down Car Thieves
04/08/2024
Tonight I picked up from the scanner that Air 1 was tracking a stolen jeep in my neighborhood and were helping BPD to hone in on it.
A few minutes later I heard "two in custody", and I was off to film.
The video above is just of my approach to the scene, but you can watch my entire ground coverage via my X feed of it (and, it's becoming increasingly clear - BuffScan can't leave X)
Radio traffic suggests two were arrested, but, also, that two police officers were injured. The ground footage shows two patients being loaded into the back of ambulances and taken from the scene. I will update this post with MSM profit media links when/if they are made available.

Explaining "DeauthorizeTheMedia"
03/03/2024
I created this editorial vlog in 2022 to try explain the tag and shed light on my personal philosophy regarding modern media, which is a pillar for the BuffScan project itself.
I forgot if I ever actually published this anywhere or if it actually has just been rotting on my hard drive as I speculate in the video, but here it is again to refresh the position in any case.
I'd actually be interested if any of you media folks have an opinion on any of the points this rando makes - it's an open forum after all!

Why People Gotta Log In to View My X Stuff?
02/24/2024
Update 2/27/24 - This issue has prompted me to complete a full jump to @Threads. From now on BuffScan microblogging can be reviewed and subscribed to at @BuffaloScan. Note the variation in spelling ("BuffaloScan", not "BuffScan").
I recently discovered that my X content isn't accessible unless you log into X. I have two X accounts and this problem applies to both of them.
Neither account is set to privatize my content, either.
It's obviously a bug but there doesn't seem to be a clear path to reporting it, particularly if you're not a paying user of X. They do have a help and support center but all of the boilerplate forms one would submit don't apply to this particular situation.
As a bug, I suspect it's tied to X's activity over last summer when they did in fact try to force people to log in in order to view people's feeds. They rolled that back pretty quick, but maybe something about my accounts got left behind.
I'm basically de-platformed on X -- at least to the extent that I can't microblog to the random world at large. Ironically, I have no problem taking my borderline mental illness rants to Threads for my personal account or new projects, but BuffaloScan on X has almost 500 subscribers that I'd like to keep my reach with. And, while I am enamored by Threads, despite whatever issues X has with its stability (as a service, and the particular man running it), I still think X the most evolved and feature reach microblogging tool on the market, if using one is important. I'd like to have it as an option while I continue to weigh which service I intend to ultimately run with if either.
Otherwise, I guess X is making the decision for me.
