The law is preposterous and illegal, of course -- there is no
Constitutional justification for making mere possession of anything
a crime (just because a criminal might use a cast iron skillet to
bash you on the head and take your money doesn't mean legislators
have any right to criminalize skillet possession), and if someone
causes radio waves to pass through your property or body, you
certainly have the common law right to demodulate (or do anything
whatever to) those waves.

But, if charged, one has to be realistic and realize that the mental
abilities of many judges and jurors are too low to understand the
above -- especially since they've been propagandized almost from
birth with the false idea that legislators can make any laws they
choose.

But one could still be free from the scanner prohibition, as long as
you operate a news blog, since the section of the pretended law I
quote above exempts anyone who is "regularly engaged in
newsgathering activities."


With all good wishes,
