how can it be a federal felony under the ECPA when you're liscened to listen to
it???

It was in the newspaper here some years ago, (but the ECPA was already in
effect then also) that the local police department here was going to use such
encryption full-time where the public can't hear them on their scanners unless
they're liscened by the local police department to do so. for a fee, of course
that the individuals of the public who want to listen have to pay the police
department to do so.

The paper did report something about the police saying that background checks
would be done to make sure the individuals of the public applying to listen
aren't criminals, and that only members of the public who aren't criminals
would be given a liscence to listen and the readio equipment needed to listen
(provided by the police department for a monthly fee to listen).

and yes, this is in the U.S. and was reported way before 9-11 ever happened, so
it's NOT because of homeland security or the patriot act.

yet according to you, the police giving you the radio equipment to listen to
them and charging you a monthly fee for you to listen to them, that the police
giving you permission to listen to them, and then yoou do under permission
from them is illegal under the ECPA act according to you, even though the
police give you a liscence to listen also.
