5KinKP60 Regular Location: Finland Registered: June 2002	listening to Police on scanner radio Tue, 16 July 2002 15:23 Hello folks How's legistlation over there in Australia on scanner radios? I have read you folks cannot have radar detectors (nor can we either). Does this apply to scanner radios as well? In Finland one can legally sell, possess, listen to a scanner radio. However, one cannot legally record in any manner radio traffic. One can not use information gathered in this manner to his/hers advantage. So if I hear there is a radar patrol up the road, I should not slow down to avoid a speeding ticket. Unfortunately the Police is slowly moving into fully digitalized radio trafficking. This will mostly make scanner radios obsolete. Regardless of this sad fact, the scanners can fortunately be used to detect a presence of a nearby Police patrol. Technique involved is identical to what the Police use to detect a radar detectors from peoples cars. We just use it other way 'round - to detect them [Report message to a moderator]
