Joy. Either way, over the last several years there's precedent set a few times in Newark about NJSA 2C:33-22 being applicable to scanner apps. Just another couple idiots contributing to the slow death of this hobby by giving law enforcement a reason.

so a cell phone is a radio.

Any person who, while in the course of committing or attempting to commit a crime, including the immediate flight therefrom, possesses or controls a radio capable of receiving any message or transmission made on or over any police, fire or emergency medical communications system, shall be guilty of a crime of the fourth degree

they put this into law in 1992. and it avoids the scanner term or exact frequencies.
so if you can hear them on a radio, not matter what, it counts.
