Diane Ortiz Male • United States of America

There is always that one male in the family who is hard to shop for. No matter what idea you come up with, it never has the impact you are hoping for. Either the item is not interesting enough; it is a duplicate, or the wrong color. No matter what you give, it never hits the nail.





Put a stop to this gifting madness, and buy your father, husband, brother, or son a digital police scanner. It is the latest craze, creating such a demand for police scanners, that shops are having a hard time keeping these devices on the shelf.





Police scanners are fascinating because they allow the user to listen into the communications of local, on-duty policemen, paramedics and firemen. By tuning into their specific frequencies, the listener will know exactly when and where an accident or crime occurred. The town or city will no longer have secrets. This can be quite advantageous to some men, especially those making a living as a journalist, private eye, or ambulance chaser. Members of the neighborhood watch will also profit largely from such a scanner.
