By the frequency of the local oscillator, but that's very iffy as
legal evidence.


Well, it doesn't seem too iffy in Virginia and D.C. They use devices (VG2
detectors) that pick up local oscillator frequencies in radar detectors, and
have no problem using it for legal evidence...


Since that's an oscillator on the radar frequency, there's not much
doubt.

Since you can't be forced to testify against yourself (meaning that
anything you have can't be seized and used against you without due
process), they'll have a slim chance of proving that, since your local
oscillator was running at 140.4 MHz, you were receiving 155.85 MHz.

All it takes is one case lost in the highest court in the state, and
the whole picture changes. It used to be normal in NY for you to
appear once to set a trial date and a second time to be tried. These
days, if the court isn't ready on your first ordered appearance, and
you know enough to ask for a dismissal, the case is dismissed. All it
took was 1 case. But someone has to bring that case.
