If you get stopped for a violation, answer to the violation first.
The cop is not going to look at your radio and ask you if it is a GMRS, FRS,
or a friggin' CB.

OTOH, if your radio is receiving police frequencies, you WILL be asked about
that.

Since GMRS, FRS and CB radios do not receive Public Safety frequencies, you
are good to go.

In Indiana, the posession of a radio that receives police frequencies is a
misdemeanor. An officer can confiscate the scanner and arrest you via
citation OR can take you into custody. For most first offenses the officer
will cite and release and your scanner will be returned to you after your
Court Hearing.
Indiana police officers do not make arrests for those who wander around in
public while using FRS or GMRS radios.
Radioguy is lying. He is a troll.
