illegal law and impossible to comply with

@rupe53 it's only illegal to use information to commit a crime. otherwise the use and application of information is free speech.

@rupe53 there is nothing illegal about saying, "hey I saw a cop car over there". you can report speed traps on google maps even. I don't because I want some people to get caught speeding, and I don't have to worry about getting pulled over because I'm not in a hurry to save 1min off my drive.

@rupe53 I know the law in the US. listening is not a crime. if they don't want to be heard encryption exists, and they shouldn't speak in the open/public if they don't want to be heard.

@rupe53 " for the purpose of using that communication to assist in the commission of a criminal offense or to avoid or escape arrest, trial, conviction, or punishment or who divulges to any person he or she knows to be a suspect in the commission of any criminal offense, the existence, contents, substance, purport, effect or meaning of that communication concerning escape from arrest, trial, conviction, or punishment is guilty of a misdemeanor." you're only proving my point. Listening and disseminating info is 100% legal, so long as you are Not using it to commit a crime. What about that simple statement is not getting through your skull?

@rupe53 "Sounds like helping to avoid a speeding ticket might make you guilty." you may be right, but take that up with Google, not me. If you actually read what I wrote you'd know I don't report speed traps because I WANT people to get caught, and I have nothing to fear from speed traps myself so I don't need to know where they are. But this means you have to actually read what I wrote.

@rupe53 no, you're Not reading what I wrote. Passing What information to whom? Can't have a radio in your car? What type of radio? What about the AM/FM radio that came with it from teh factory? What about emergency/weather radios? How did you get your radio from the store to your house? HAM radio? Absolutely can use HAM radio in cars, CB radios? yes. Cellphones and google maps? yup, can have those too. But now we're getting way off topic too.

@rupe53 Ok, you're talking about the police scanner specifically. But what is a police scanner? A Raspberry Pi? A cellphone with an app? A HAM radio? Fact of the matter is, technology outstrips whatever you think is illegal. You also still haven't answered the question, who is passing what info to whom? You kept talking about passing of information as being illegal, outside of just committing a crime. I'd like to know Who it was in your previous comments you were claiming was passing potentially illegal information. Who was passing info? What info were they passing? and how is that info furthering a crime? and who were they passing it to. If you're going to make accusations, you need to be specific.

@rupe53 "The FCC classifies this as privileged information and limits what you can do with it. (as outlined in that quote I posted, which is actually one state's wording) " Again....the FCC only prohibits the information from being used to commit a crime, NOTHING more. "The FCC classifies this as privileged information and limits what you can do with it. (as outlined in that quote I posted, which is actually one state's wording) " I am old enough, but once again you're not being clear as to Which terms exactly you are referring to here. "hang-up, dial, or even hold " such words still apply to cellphones exactly as they did in the past. the technology may be different but it works on teh same fundamental principles as before. And yet again, you fail to specify Who was passing What information to Whom for What purpose that you claim is illegal, that doesn't involve committing an actual crime other than merely listening in a talking about it. You claimed someone was committing a crime, and I want to know who you think was committing what crime, in Context of what was said here. Again, if police, firefighters, and others want to have secure coms, it's VERY easy. HAM operators and other amateurs have been communicating with encrypted coms for many years now. Why can't police and military get with the times. If they wanted secure coms, they could have them tomorrow. The technology has existed for a long time. If you broadcast in the clear, you have no right to get upset if people listen in.

@rupe53 "FCC rules were written long before digital / encryption was commonly available" encryption has nothing to do whatsoever with the law. If coms were encrypted it would render the rules a mute point altogether. But that's not my point. If you don't like people listening in, then encrypt your coms. It's a choice you're actively deciding not to do, and instead just focus on complaining about people listening to you blab over the open airways. I don't need you to explain the law to me, I'm asking you to explain YOUR claims. But you keep dodging my questions and bringing up other irrelevant factors.

@rupe53 40yrs ago? hate to break it to you, but a LOT has changed since then. Kids in high school can figure it out with a cheap raspberry pi. "If you can't figure out why dissemination of certain information MIGHT be illegal, then you need to do some research." STILL totally misunderstanding I see. still can't comprehend what I wrote in that initial comment, and the subtle but critical distinction I make. "It's not my call and I don't have any more than what was provided in the clip." I never said it was your call, and I wasn't asking you for advice.

@rupe53 no, you just can't distinguish between criminal and noncriminal behavior. And you have no clue how to debate an issue.
