Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups including
police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies,
private companies, amateur radio services, military operations, pager
services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service providers. It is legal
to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However,
there are some transmissions you should never intentionally listen to. These
include:
• Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other means of private
telephone signal transmission)
• Paging transmissions
• Any intentionally decoded scrambled or encrypted transmissions
