SCANNING LEGALLY
Scanning is a fun and interesting hobby. You can hear police and fire departments, ambulance services, govern- ment agencies, private companies, amateur radio servic- es, aircraft, and military operations. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some electronic and wire communi- cations that are illegal to intentionally intercept. These in- clude:
•telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal transmission)
•pager transmissions
•scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the Federal Electronic Communications Pri- vacy Act (ECPA), as amended, you could be fined and possibly imprisoned for intentionally listening to, using, or disclosing the contents of such a transmission unless you have the consent of a party to the communication (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). These laws change from time to time and there might be state or local laws that also affect legal scanner usage.
