I am new to this board. I am not sure if some might find these questions controversial or not. I am trying to setup my motorcycle for some serious long distance riding. Given costs challenges of high insurance costs I would like to keep the speeding ticket avoidance odds in my favour. I know that monitoring CB channel 19 can help with "speed trap awareness". Then I remember my grandfathers old scanner. He was a HAM and had all kinds of interesting radio equipment. I figure why not just use a scanner to monitor the CB channel and get the extra benefit of being able to monitor the police channels at the same time. Is it realistic that this would be effective? What is the legality of in car scanners in Ontario? I have read on the internet that some States do not allow scanners in cars. Perhaps this is a rarely enforced law. I have also read that some scanners can detect if a signal on a certain band is within a certain range. Would this also work if traffic enforcement signals are encrypted?
