It is a FEDERAL crime to 'use' a descrambler to intercept transmissions

that
are NOT your own. Hence.... if you owned a taxi cab company and wanted to
scramble your transmissions to the cars.... you can legally do it.

However
if you 'used' that descrambler/ scrambler system to intercept police or
another business transmissions you are in violation
of the law.

When did the gov't. pass this law and who enforces it?

Don't say the FCC because they only regulate transmitters, not receivers.
