Today was great, got some decent pics (hopefully) and had my scanner blasting on my car speakers (so what if its technically illegal). I saw fred standing on his infamous honda, and Im pretty damn sure you got me in that pic. Hope to meet some of you tomorrow.

In NY it is illegal to have anything that can "recieve police frequencies" in your car, but its not illegal to have one. Crazy, I know, but i dont really care much. If I ever get stopped, I'll just play dumb.
S 397. Equipping motor vehicles with radio receiving sets capable of
receiving signals on the frequencies allocated for police use. A
person, not a police officer or peace officer, acting pursuant to his
special duties, who equips a motor vehicle with a radio receiving set
capable of receiving signals on the frequencies allocated for police use
or knowingly uses a motor vehicle so equipped or who in any way knowing-
ly interferes with the transmission of radio messages by the police
without having first secured a permit so to do from the person author-
ized to issue such a permit by the local governing body or board of the
city, town or village in which such person resides, or where such person
resides outside of a city or village in a county having a county police
department by the board of supervisors of such county, is guilty of a
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or

I am amateur radio operator, the law was written so that you can not
have a scanner installed in your car. Handheld is a different story...
Almost all pilots carry scanners or backup transmitters that are capable of
receiving police frequencies. They are legal (or were,but think they still
are). They become illegal if you are using them for profit...IE - Chasing
firefighters for local newspapers, or using it as a burglars tool. I had
been stopped a couple of times at accidents and told I was under arrest
for using a scanner.....If I saw an accident, I would grab the transmitter
out of my car and listen to when the police were arriving. There is
nothing illegal about that!
From your above post, if you have a handheld set, you are ok.....ask any
police officer, they will tell you that you are breaking the law.......just
like "taking pictures of aircraft after 911 is illegal"
Look closely at this line you posted,
"acting pursuant to his special duties, who equips a motor vehicle with a
radio receiving"
QUESTION, are you Acting Pursuant???? no? NOT ILLEGAL!
that line tells me 100%, the law has not changed....it is not illegal

come to think of it, I know many that have installed car radios and that
is not illegal either....it is only if you are using it for anything other than
listening....or if you are committing a crime and listening for a heads up.
