It's not illegal to listen in to a police channel. It only becomes illegal if you transmit through it also. [/QUOTE]No - it's illegal to be in posession of a police scanner [/QUOTE]They aren't illegal, i could go down the street now... well not now, it's 12:30am but tomorrow and buy one if i wanted, it is also legal for news reporters to have scanners, how else would they get most of their storys, and often you will see a news crew arrive on the scene of a road accident etc before the police because they are constantly scanning.
At least where i'm from in NSW they are legal [/QUOTE]Well I'm not from there am I?

It seems like I recall hearing something about having a mobile scanner in your car while your driving around, but not sure about that. Where is Timber when you need him? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Overe here it's illegal to have one but that won't stop someone I know from having one.

As far as I know it's legal in OZ to have a scanner and use it, with the exception of listening to telecom frequencies (mobile phones, etc). Listening on police channels is ok.
