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.
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.
We encourage responsible, safe
and legal scanner use.
