Listening to a police scanner is legal. Going to the scene of incidents you hear about to "snoop" and being in the way of the police/fire/ems will get you a ticket if not arrested. Relaying information from the scanner to others may also get you arrested (telling your buddy he has a warrant for his arrest so he can leave town would be an example). Please listen responsibly.

For the most section, each Dept has diverse "Slang" or acronyms for very nearly some thing. in case you keep listening, by the years you'd be able to decide what they recommend at the same time as they are speaking. keep at it! it really is a few thing that extremely does take a at the same time as to %. up on. at the same time as the ten-codes are on the way out, extremely some officials and Dispatchers will use the finest 2 numbers of a 10 code to shorten a radio transmission. For an social gathering, i will tell someone to furnish me a "21" at my cellular or place of work. it truly is only a shorter thanks to talk to some different person to call me by skill of telephone at my cellular volume or place of work volume.

in some states it is not legal to own or posses a police scanner in others you can have them but if you get caught with it while committing a crime it is a felony and adds 2- 10 years on to your sentience
