Someone in New Zealand is pranking the police by playing an NWA song on their radio frequency
"The prankster in particular has somehow managed to hack into the police radio frequency in Otago, New Zealand and constantly broadcasts the song down the airwaves."

The reporter seems confused (as reporters often are), between "hacking" and using a transmitter.

Huh... I've FWR that to some free radio dudes I know in NZ. (I suspect that you know them too.) Anyway, I remember it making national news here when in the 1990's someone aired a Nazi speech on a fire dept FREQ. I don't believe that person was ever caught, but what's the point of doing it on such a FREQ if it only gets you negative publicity? Stupid is, what stupid will be.

Maybe they thought the Fire Chief was behaving like a Nazi? It's been known to happen to them in towns where they know you can't get rid of them because they've got a friend or relative further up the political food chain.

Why do people vandalise anything? Because they want to.
I see these pranks as the same thing. People who want to wreak havoc really don't need a reason. They just do it because it's their version of "fun".
