Crackdown on radio owners & users

I've been reading this NG, along with several others. Lately, we have
read about a ham arrested in Indiana for having a mobile rig. We now
read that Michigan is close to passing a law requiring police permission
to carry mobile radio gear, with a proposed penalty of a year in jail
for violation. I also seem to recall something about a county in NY
having recently issued a rule against mobile operating.

Not sure about all mobile radios? but here in Michigan if one wishes to have
a scanner in the vehicle and they are not a licensed radio amateur they must
obtain a permit from the Michigan State Police. It's been that way for a
long time.
