I'm curious :unsure: what you mean by a "LEGAL" way

So far this thread is "Not Illegal" :cool:

For the OP - keep scanning.

Seen a few threads pertaining to people being harassed and or having their scanner taken by NYPD. Saw a thread a while back on another board stating that walking around NYC with a scanner is illegal. Any truth to that? I know there are many variables, but I am only asking about "walking the NYC streets with a scanner". Nothing more.

Thanks

This is all I could find.. Ambiguous language at best...

If you're discreet and use a headset you should be fine I think. As a volunteer I almost always have a portable on me, I've gotten looks and such but never been stopped or questioned. I don't listen aloud for obvious reason and plus the fact that NYC noise pollution makes the loudest of speakers useless. When in uniform I have my speaker mic for that and when out of uniform, in my back pocket with an earpiece.
