Is it illegal to listen in on police radios?

Posted by admin on February 21st, 2010 and filed under radios | 6 Comments »

I Have an iPod Touch and I have downloaded the application A+ Police Radio Free, and it allows me to listen to police radios in different countries like New Zealand and the U.S.A., and also Australia. It let’s me listen in four Australian States, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and New South Wales. I don’t want to get caught listening to this if it’s illegal, so could you please help me?

It really depends on your local laws. Some places it is totally legal, others totally illegal, other fine at home, but not in your car or outside your home.

    Some people make money using scanners (police, aircraft, emergency services) by reporting interesting stuff to newspapers. Haven’t heard of anyone getting into trouble from doing that though…
