said in rec.radio.scanner: "Al Klein" wrote in message .. . 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. |
