In the UK you cannot listen in as the transmissions use the mobile network and are encrypted. In some parts of the world the police have divided comms, there are the normal fm ones and the encrypted ones. Since most of the crooks probably have scanners you do not really want anyone listening if you are about to raid an address, now do you? Brian

You jammy bastard, Cole!
Plonked by the chief k*****ad. In record time, too - he must like you.

Actually a rather poor one as many of their transmissions were AM. A very good receiver would reject them.

Indeed - a guitar amp would do as well. We used to play a gig near the polizeiplatz and frequently, you would get 100 watts of police voice booming out in the hall!

What law am I breaking by listening to something that has been broadcast into MY property?

The key point is that police comms do not fall within the legal definition of "broadcast" which is a signal intended for general reception. None of the signals originated between agencies of the emergency services (fire, police, ambulance, coastguard etc.) are intended for general reception.

Then they shouldn't put them in my house. It's akin to sending post to every door, then expecting you not to open the ones that don't have your name on it.

Yes, of course it is. Have you had your daily dose of chocolate and alcohol today Mr Hucker?

Well there is absolutely nothing in law to prevent you from erecting a Faraday Cage around your house to prevent this intrusion you appear to feel so strongly about.

I don't want to prevent it, I want to see what it is.

Well you can't. Not legally, anyway.

Looking at something doesn't draw attention to yourself. Only transmitting does.

Indeed. But it's still against the law. Keep it up, though, I'm enjoying your wonderful sigs.

It's only illegal if you're caught :-)

I wouldn't worry too much about that : you need to concentrate on the voices in your head.
