If I put a mobile scanner in my personal vehicle, do I need a special license to be legal?

If I need licencing or special permission where do I get it?

1. Anyone can have a scanner in their car in Michigan. No permission needed.
2. I'ts only illegal if you are using it while commiting a crime.
3. I'ts always a good idea to keep a copy of the law that Rocksteady posted in the glovebox.

Sorry about the duplicate post, and wrong area. I should have known better. I have been on forums before. I did look around a bit but didn't see the one from rocksteady...thanks.

One thing that got left out is that if you have been convicted of a felony within the last 5 years you cannot be in possession of a scanner.

You can have a ham ticket and carry a scanner in the car too. But keep a copy of the michigan compilied law in the glove box like a poster said. I bring my handheld everywhere I go..I have my ticket so I no longer need to carry the info, although i still should. Cops don't know all the laws, and it's best top have it so you can show it if they don't know the new rule yet.

Having a scanner in your car is legal and as far as im concerned its essential piece of equipment.
