NICE VIDEO COMPILATION. You know the first time I visited NYC I actually mistook the Police Vehicles for Fire Vehicles, where I am from all of our Police Vehicles including the unmarks are BLUE & WHITE Lights with 2 RED LED's in the back brake lights.
Thank you! Interesting how the lights vary from place to place. I think blue is only allowed on the back here, and not many of the fire vehicles have them (rescues definitely do).
Thanks! My 7-year-old son is a huge fire buff. He got us (especially me!) into it. When I first took videos, it was just for him, so I hadn’t thought twice about us talking in the background! Once I started making the videos I started to make sure going forward we didn’t talk too much when something good was going by. So I’ll out myself: I’m the female, the mom, in the videos, and I do all the editing and almost all the shooting. A couple times, my battery died and my husband had to take over, so there are a few spots where his videos pop up and you might hear him.
I forget exactly what they were racing to-I think it was a report of shots fired or something similar. I had seen something on the citizen app shortly after. 24th precinct gets a lot of that!
@@TripleJFire Jesus; we’ll you gotta get there fast then. Good drivers these ones. It’s crazy how even Manhattan the nicest ‘city’/borough in the country has violence everyday also. I’m from Philly and downtown (center city) has become like that except I will say those nypd cars are snazzy!
The per capita numbers here are good, but the actual total numbers of crimes are still a lot! Also definitely just seems like it’s gotten worse the last few years. The 24th has a couple of housing projects in its bounds that seem to be the main hotspots for crime even though it’s generally a nice area. There are definitely some neighborhoods in Manhattan that I avoid completely! Philly changes a lot from neighborhood to neighborhood, right?
They are indeed bullet-proof glasses. It was decided to equip all NYPD vehicles with these following the murders of two NYPD officers seating in their RMP (in 2014, if I remember well), followed by a similar incident in 2017...
They are. Emergency workers tend to just blip them in large cities with heavy pedestrian and motor traffic, and sharp short blips tend to be more effective at telling people "I'm here, move out of my way now" over the continuous sirens "hey, i'm here, can you move when you get a chance? thanks". It's just better at grabbing attention in a city that's probably full of sirens.
Agree with the other commenter-they tap on the siren a lot! A good chunk of the time, ambulances run continuously, and fire vehicles almost all the time.
Why do i only see emergency vehicles with sirens in new york only in downtown (I dont live in new york im only saying why i see the videos only in downtown
There’s more going on in Midtown because it’s just busier-I have definitely gotten some uptown sirens too, though! But I think between more happening and more traffic that they need sirens to get through, I’ve just ended up catching more there.
I think it's still within normal limits and not excessive, but it could be said to be excessive if used to drive away flocks of sheep just a flock of sheep,ducks,geese,frogs or a herd of ants that accidentally build a nest near the highway is very excessive and paranoid
