Any law enforcement officer in the southeast part of the state would do his/her best to not notice a scanner in a vehicle, even though they are well-aware that they are able to confiscate them on the spot. The only time you'd really get any flack out of it is if you were using it as an accessory to a crime. I work with and have consulted with many of the HP's, sheriffs and local cops in this area of the state and none of them cautioned me against putting my 996T in my car.
