  1. It never bothered most of us when police could be heard and doesn't bother lost of us now, at raf fairford usaf base yesterday many were standing there listening to the at comms of u2 and b52 movements as they do at raf, usaf bases across uk and civil airfield and we walk around openly at airshows as well, no one really cares about the laws these cases were extremely rare, though I am probably the most arrested 10 times maybe more, sone I technically won but still lost 4 radios on average each case, others fined, and I think 3 dropped can't recall fully All mine were under metropolitan Police I think in London and on royal and governments, military frequencies

  7. Yes it does and sir, marine commercial pmr it's just never used much in past or today even less, these stories are handful of what millions of people use to listen to police, often in the street open at incident even and no arrests I still go to incidents and listrn to fire handhelds chat to fire officers etc have no issues

  9. Most people were not just hams prosecutions were very low, yes ok I was more than 10 times but I was at demonstrations passing info to those involved, was also informing media, was there at bombings, royal and military events, sporting events loaded up with royal protection, special branch military intelligence and lots more, I took the risk lost radios, and just got more Was on royalty protection collater list, so my photos and details were given, one day was doing scanning on bus nr Victoria Station, trooping the colour so I stayed using buses when my name and he's under admiralty arch came up, well I knew wasn't me, they got him and it was queen mums chef in the crowd lol When Buckingham Palace first opened I joined queue st James Park, men in black came up said your mot going on there King if Jordan visited one day bp, gate officer at no said mib want to talk to you, I stood there 20 minutes, was never held so was odd, asked officer what's going on he said soryy was only joking lol By that time I wss not on the collater list anymore was classed as safe they knew I had my scanners and was listening, when arrested 2009 under terrorism act they checked me with special branch and they cleared me, and was taken off terrorist arrest charge

  12. I was known well to royalty protection and special branch and on any royal event they would be keeping an eye on me and heard my name and description a few times but after a few years they decided wasn't worth it and was told I wasn't considered a threat so they didn't care

  13. Was known to publish sensitive and commercial and mil, marine and air freqs but no one cared in fact my database was used by the then radio communications agency as I had freqs listed that were unlicensed etc so they coukd get a taxi company using unlicensed by looking at my information

  14. So over a few years I lost 30 scanners as, average say fir me is 4 scanners out then, now I still take 2 out as a minimum airshows 8 sitting there all going away I 7se to be released by police in London, then off to shop and buy 3 or more scanners so in space of a few hours if be fully operational again, eaach arrest actually made me more obsessed as I'm adhd autistic but wasn't diagnose till 37 so my 2009 arrest they couldn't talk to me as classed vulnerable police Dr made sure they bailed me no questions untill I got a adult carer etc 3 months later social worker and I went to Wimbledon they handed me radios as I got there and told me that was it

  18. The law was most used in previous tory governments not this current onr, wt act and communications act are very rarely used when police were analogue, yes a few cases but not many compared to his many scanner users, but now it's just history as no recent prosecution

  25. Though in fact much I had worked out myself like the main u uhf channels standard home office set up, with some regional differances, old storno met vhf robbery squad, seg, protection channels simplex looted in 147 mhz so when I got a full storno ch list it matched mostly what I had guessed, I found uhf protection 450 mhz etc sane way Ch32 451.95 ch33 452.4 knew firearms 452.375 so said ok who else is 451.975 to 452.. 35 sure enough shook hands with Edward millennium eve at southbank and got protection on 451.975 mhz another one added to my database

  26. Ch7 451 325 though cid ops was also protection as well, even ex president Clinton out guys were in ch7 and mi5 hq surveillance, fire brigade had 451. 4 but at time of saw nimrod the siege they were told to use other channels, in other wires SAS were using 451. 4 on the Iranian embassy siege Was so good gleaning information in the old days Even today protection forget if on another event net like Farnborough airshow dmr where I had metpol701A and e on 457 mhz event net from outside the airfield and inside with pm position and where next etc, they hadn't realised they were on non secure radios
