Hi all! I'd like to ask whether scanners are legal in Europe or not. Due to local laws etc, a per-country answer should be given when possible.
I'm mainly interested in the Netherlands and maybe Germany. I'm not interested in listening to police frequencies or phone commnications etc. I'm just asking if having a scanner is legal.
Also, I know about Greece. Scanners used to be prohibited from 2006 to 2012, but are not any more. Listenting to police frequencies IS still prohibited and in general it is advised to have the scanner disassembled when police controls are possible.
Thanks
