Ex felon in possession of scanner?

[fischlerpromo]

So my grandson has a history for drug possession and he is approached by the police (LAPD) while he is listening to one of my scanners (Pro-96) in his front yard. The police officer confiscated the scanner on the grounds that possession of a scanner by an ex con is against the law. I do not believe that is true and I would like to get my scanner back. Can I get it back?

Your grandson was just listening ??? Then he got jacked.

It is a crime to use a scanner in the commission of a crime..... and Los Angeles is fine with people having scanners...

Forget the lawsuit, it would cost to much money and trust me you with lose... I would just go to the station and get it back.. I would assume there was some paperwork issued by the police when they took the scanner.
Take that in, see the watch commander if necessary and ask for it back.

In addition, it was not even his scanner..it's yours...so tell them that also and I bet you might get it back.. but first and foremost keep your cool.

What division is this?

Will someone please explain to me what an "ex felon" is?

I think the original post meant ex-con.

An ex-felon is someone who has their felony record expunged.

That's like saying someone can become a virgin through a judicial decree <g>.

Well,
When LA-RICS is up and running and they employ AES-256 Encryption for ALL law enforcement voice traffic, That Pro-96 wont be worth much anyway. So, can you say MOOT Point? I knew ya could.! Ok, you can lock this thread now, thanks.
