There's probably little traffic other than the television broadcasts in that band. I don't think it's a particular legal issue.

According to all the specs I have seen online it does cover ( 470.000-512.000 MHz ) the UHF TV band in 12.5khz steps. Am I missing something?

Design parameters. No legal issue, as ibagli has aleady indicated. The T-Band (a limited use, small portion of the UHF TV spectrum) is included as is the PS portion of the 700 MHz UHF TV Band no longer used for TV.

Thanks for all your replys!, It's just funny, this is a very expensive scanner.. one would think it would have all the bands less cellular.. o-well I guess I'm not missing much In that band I hope...

Still not sure how the scanner is related to all of this...

The question was dodged...

What was he convicted of to earn a five year sentence from a federal court?

The old TV UHF channels, 69+ i believe would run right over the cell phone bands. Back when cells where analog, it was actually possible to (barely) listen to conversations using an old non-remote-control TV tuned into the UHF channels.
