If Federal law truly supercedes state law as hams claim they do, then
how are local state laws prohibiting using scanners to monitor the
police legal???


They're not. Neither are radar detectors or full range *radio receivers* of
any sort (including cell phone coverage). The latter "restriction" bought
and paid for by the same telcos that have been illegally tapping your phone
lines for the past 8+ years. Of course, if never challenged, they'll take as
many of your freedoms as you'll give.

The federal ECPA law clearly says that monitoring police transmissions
is specifically allowed.


Federal law and International Treaty clearly state that monitoring *any*
frequency is legal.

From anywhere in the U.S.


Naturally.

And "anywhere" would inclide from a vehicle.


Of course.

And if I recall correctly, the ECPA even goes so far as to say that
monitoring of police may not be prohibited.


Does anyone care anymore?
