Scanners illegal in Kansas?
"Rico" wrote in message
... How long ago did this happen ? Listening to cordless has been largely out of reach for scanners for at least 5 years, probably more .. Unless the neighbor happened to be using a cordless phone from 1999. The problem with stories like this on Usenet, especially if they have no links, is you don't know if there is any truth in it. Often things like this start out with some real story, but through many re telling, they get so far off the truth as to be a joke. I know about the time the stuff with the couple who recorded the Congress people there was another case brought up. A neighbor was picking up another's cordless phone on hers. He was a drug dealer. She gave this info to Police. The courts ruled that the cordless phones were not offered the same protections as the Cell phones. Can't remember what grounds they used, but that was the bottom line. As to cordless phones the last time I bought one was only a few years ago, and I still had to buy a more expensive one than the bargain unit. They were at that time, still selling phones that were not digital or SS. It was just a few years ago when I bought my BC246 that I found I could hear a next door neighbor on her phone. You would only hear on side of the conversation, but if you searched you could find the other half too. They also had a baby monitor on the 900 band. One day when she was outside on the phone I walked over and showed her that everything she was saying was going out to anyone within a few houses of her. The look on her face said she was embarrassed but glad I told her. -- I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian |
