According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are
subject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to,
using, or divulging the contents of such a transmission unless you have the
consent of a party to the communication (unless such activity is otherwise
illegal).
This scanner has been designed to prevent reception of illegal
transmissions. This is done to comply with the legal requirement that
scanners be manufactured so as to not be easily modifiable to pick up
those transmissions. Do not open your scanner's case to make any
modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to
monitor. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties.
We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit.
Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many areas to interfere with
the duties of public safety officials by traveling to the scene of an incident
without authorization.
