Does anyone know the scanner law in ohio? I was wondering what the law was to have a scanner in a vehicle in ohio. if anyone could help? I like to take my hand-held PRO-164 with me when i go somewhere, but i dont want to get in trouble.
As long as its not used in commission of a crime your good to go..
Is there a specific law about that, or is it just a generic criminal tools law?
Where at in Cuyahoga County? I think Parma has an ordinance banning scanners in cars. Ohio is a home rule state, so individual municipalities (but not counties or townships) can make their own rules on this issue and enforce them on anybody who just happens to be passing through (so, for example, when you're driving down 271 just in Cuyahoga County, you're subject to the jurisdiction of 11 separate cities or villages).

Again, I am not a lawyer nor do I want to test an ordinance if it exists in a local Ohio community, but I think we are on save ground using a scanner mobile in Ohio as long as you conform to the "State" law.
What state law?
