I find that incredibly interesting. Are you a tweaker? I'm just playing.
Haha… it’s ok.
It depends on your definition of a “tweaker”. Generally people refer to a tweaker as someone who does speed and becomes over paranoid, and engrossed in tasks… writing page after page of nearly meaningless content, or zones out alphabetizing his sock drawer.
If you mean tweaker as in someone who adjusts, and fine tunes, then yes…

otherwise, no. I don't tweak out.
This might be over kill for small time buyers and sellers, or considered paranoid by others, but when your dealing 3-7 ounces of crystal meth at a time, it's mandatory, and just smart practice.

Have you had any instances with the scanner that helped you out?
The scanner was put in place after I came across the radio transmissions of DEA and local police organizing a raid on someone across town. Luckily, I’ve not had an instance in which it informed me of a looming bust, or setup, although I’m confident that it will if such an instance ever occurs.
.
It has, however, been somewhat useful in one instance. It's actually a long story so I'll summarize. I was leaving a dealer’s house and was pulled over and searched. The probable cause was that I was seen leaving a “known drug dealers house”.
My wife, who was acting as the “dispatcher”, heard it on the scanner so she grabbed a friend and went out to where they had us stopped. (In case they were to take us in… she could keep the car from getting towed, at least.) She didn't actually here the location on the scanner but found us because of the no deviating course rule. Although they asked her to leave, she said “hell no, I’m not leaving without my husband”. We got to play good cop, bad cop against them a little, which I think helped a lot.
She went and waited in her car parked up in front of mine and they wrapped it up fairly quickly from there. They didn’t even write me a ticket for anything, even though they systematically handled all 5 ounces of crystal meth, and didn’t even know it.
I pursued a lawsuit on the Officer, for violation of civil rights. The court ruled in my favor concluding he did not have probable cause after my lawyer showed that the house was only suspected of drug trafficking, but the resident had never been convicted of drug trafficking and no warrant was ever issued to search the dealers house. My wife and her friend as witnesses made our case stronger.
