In the United States, federal law generally permits the possession of police scanners. However, some states and cities have laws regulating the use and possession of police scanners.
Laws can also differ depending on whether you are using a police scanner for personal or commercial use. Some places may require specific permits or licenses for commercial use.
It's important to review the laws and regulations in your specific area to ensure compliance with any restrictions. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for violating it.
In countries other than the United States, it's advisable to consult the local laws and regulations regarding the possession and use of police scanners.
Here are some examples of police scanner laws in other countries:
- Canada: Generally erlaubt, aber einige Provinzen haben möglicherweise zusätzliche Anforderungen oder Beschränkungen.
- Australia: In den meisten Staaten und Territorien erlaubt, jedoch mit spezifischen Lizenzanforderungen.
- United Kingdom: Im Allgemeinen verboten, es sei denn, Sie besitzen eine spezielle Lizenz.
- Germany: Im Allgemeinen erlaubt, aber es gibt einige Einschränkungen in Bezug auf die Verwendung von Polizeifrequenzen.
