True or False: It's acceptable to interrupt ongoing transmissions if the speaker takes too long.

In communication systems, especially those used in law enforcement, maintaining the clarity and integrity of ongoing transmissions is crucial. Interrupting ongoing transmissions can lead to confusion, lost information, or miscommunication. The speaker may be providing critical information that needs to be recorded, and cutting them off could impede effective communication.

Furthermore, there are protocols and procedures in place that guide when it is appropriate to interrupt. In most situations, unless there is an urgent emergency that requires immediate attention, it is essential to allow the transmission to complete unless instructed otherwise. Thus, it is considered inappropriate to interrupt just because the speaker is taking too long, making the assertion that this practice is acceptable untrue.
