Get a police scanner and program your local frequencies into it, a lot more legal than having a real police radio and its just as good. And trust me, you will need someone who knows your local radio talk before you can even THINK about trying to understand where they are. Lucky for me Im a firefighter and I know what they're saying. Get a radar detector if you're that worried. Talk to Genuine Rolla, he sells them Legit at a good price
:werd: You probably won't even know what they're saying.

uh... yea it would. Thats why you don't set it to scan, but you set to frequency in.
He's talking about a radar detector. He got confused when you said "scanner".
Noeladams said:
I dont think that would be a bright idea to put a scanner in a import. My dad use to have one in his cars/trucks but he was a police officer/private investagator. I is illegal to have on in your car I believe and if you do put one in please hide the thing or turn it off or somehting if a cop pulls you.


I wouldnt waste the time myself.... just abide the law and slow down lol.
YOu know how they get pissed off if you're caught with a radar detector in Virginia? Well... they get a lot more pissed when they catch you with a scanner. They feel like they're being spied on. PLUS they're very illegal. If you were to get one you better get a handheld one or else when you get pulled over for anything they're going to know. This isn't a plain CB radio we're talking about here. I'd like to have a handheld one (more out of curiousity; I don't street race) but I'm not ready to lay down ~$500.

Actuallty, he's already stated that usually he does feel like driving like grandma. Just when he gets together with his friends at night he likes to street race. Orginized street racing is completely different than everyday driving or deciding to race in the middle of traffic because someone revved on you.

I second talking to Genuine Rolla about them to get an idea of what might be best for you. I'd also heavily recommend checking out your local laws to see how hard you're going to have to hide this thing and how much trouble it can get you into.

scanners suck.. i bought this 180 dolar 360 cobra thing, and i just goes crasy all the time im on the freeway....
thats a radar detctor not a scanner...

get a scanner it is a device you can program to hear police transmission.. check your local loaws regarding having these...

having a REAL like stolen police radio is stupid and will land you in jail.. scanner does the same thing..

As far as legality... I believe it's completly legal to listen to the scanner, but it's illegal to drive around with it.

as far as im aware there are no federal laws regarding them therefor they should vary from location to location.. i COULD be wrong...

I found a site that might help out.

http://www.afn.org/~afn09444/scanlaws/scanner5.html

I'd still check your local laws though because I'm not sure if all of his information is accurate.

*A Warning...*
While that page I just linked here in this post gave me no problems, when I went to his homepage for that site I wasn't able to use the right click at all. I'm using Firefox and I couldn't even close the tab for his window or click to look at my other pages. I could still scroll up and down his page, but all of his links reacted as though they were dead.

I'd copy the info from his page here, but he has all these copyright notices there to say he'll sue you if you copy his information anywhere else (doesn't even seem happy if you link to it and cite the source).

Why did you completely threadjack this thread?

This thread has nothing to do with carpetting. Go make your own thread.

Yeah just get a digital scanner from radio shack or something. They cost from $50 to $200 and are like 100 channel to 1000 channel. I have a uniden bearcat and I love it. It is a 100 channel programmable scanner. You can also get the frequencies on the internet or at your local radio shack. They are really cool and last a long time. Mine is 15 years old. Good investment if you ask me. Or you could buy used old police radios with up to 16 channels but the downside is you have to have the frequency programmed into and that costs money $$. I do security and the cops used the Motrola MT-1000. They have like a 50 mile range.
