wrote in message ... On Sun, 05 Sep 2004 23:38:34 GMT, "Buzzygirl" Is this a legal definition? I would expect that a scanner would have to have the capability of automatically "scanning" a number of frequencies. Here is the text of the Minnesota statute... you will see it says nothing about "scanning" frequencies. A "scanner" here is defined as a device which can receive police frequencies: "299C.37 Police communication equipment; use, sale. Subdivision 1. Use regulated. (a) No person other than peace officers within the state, the members of the State Patrol, and persons who hold an amateur radio license issued by the Federal Communications Commission, shall equip any motor vehicle with any radio equipment or combination of equipment, capable of receiving any radio signal, message, or information from any police emergency frequency, or install, use, or possess the equipment in a motor vehicle without permission from the superintendent of the bureau upon a form prescribed by the superintendent." Not that this would dissuade the kind of cop who takes your carrying such documentation as a personal challenge to his authority. I would bring it up to a judge in traffic court and lodge a formal complaint with the PD, if it had to go that far. Jackie |
