For the record, using a police scanner in the car is about as illegal as putting your trash out on the wrong day of the week.


In which country/region? It depends (a lot) on where you are. I'm pretty sure that intercepting (or interfering with) police communications is a prosecutable offence here in the UK. Whether the CPS will actually go for a prosecution is a separate matter, of course.
