If you read the article, even the title, having the scanner app was only a secondary part of his arrest!
Perhaps, but incidents like this will only lead to more and more law enforcement agencies encrypting all of their transmissions.

He was also arrested (later) for having a stolen police radio. Makes me wonder about the reporting on this.

Remember when you could buy a scanner, take it home and mod it to receive cellular? Everything was going good until some idiot published a cell call from Newt Gingrich, about a year later the cellular scanner ban went into effect.

All it's going to take is some idiot abusing a scanner app at some political event. Enjoy your scanner apps while they last.
