So then I can call a friend up and tell them that I just heard on the
scanner that the cops are coming to raid his house? Cool...



Not being a lawyer, I can't say. I would "Guess" that if you did that, and
they could prove you did, like his phone was tapped and they heard you do
it, or you were stupid enough to admit you did, that you could be in for
some trouble. Whether they could convict you of anything would probably
depend on your local laws, but if something went bad, say someone got shot
and they felt it was because you called him and told him, I would guess some
judge would try to find some way to make you miserable.
