09/30/2003 Entry: "Police radio"

I don't know whether this is "art", but it is certainly intriguing - and curiously compelling. Police Radio is an online radio station which combines music (chosen by police officers), interviews and "fly on the wall" documentary featuring the Merseyside Police service. It's all pre-recorded of course, and apparently the time you log-on will match the time the stuff was recorded. If you want to know what British Police Officers talk about on duty, this is one place to find out.

According to the artist responsible for the project, the only censorship is of Police swearing and the addresses of interviewed suspects. You'll need Real player installed, and a working knowledge of Scouse slang might be useful.
