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.
