Agreed. If we were to go encrypted here I'd have a lot is stuff for sale. While I occasionally get in a mood for some aircraft stuff, it's the public service I'm interested In. For those that do like the other stuff, great carry on!!

Wait til Customers start walking around with their Own Curve talkies lol, not that anyone would do that! I had a manager tell me, the most they can do is trespass you if you're in their store with one.
On what grounds? Simply walking in with one on your belt means nothing. I know if a couple of local guys using those for construction stuff.
Ok...
if it bleeds it leads, so for us if it transmits we find and identify.
True and I don't mind the searching part, but once it's found and appropriate notifications made, I'm out on that kind of stuff. I like finding unknown business frequencies also, been able to come up with a few here and there thru out the years, so ya, it's all fun!

IF you were to interfere with their store comms, by communicating or bothering employees, legally they could trespass you, but that would be rare and surprising.
You also don't need to be in the store to do that, I talked to the store manager here and he said there are a lot of people come in with HT's, if we trespassed them all, we'd loose a lot of business and that would be silly. IF we actually caught them in the store in the act perhaps we'd do something but, they can sit in on the public street at the edge and do the same thing. It's radio, you don't need to be in the store to actually interfere.
A business does not need to have a reason to trespass a person from the premises. If they (store) wants someone removed from the premises, they (trespassee) will be removed and the trespassee does not have recourse and if the trespassee refuses to leave on their own accord, the trespassee will be removed by force and arrested.
Convenient, and they likely have replacement radios in stock if one were lost/damaged.FRS channel 3 in my neck of the woods.
Furthermore, this is almost universal in this country. Some states have softened it somewhat by giving a citation for a first offense and arrest for subsequent violations. If an arrest occurs, it almost always involves a second charge of resisting arrest or obstruction of justice because if the person was cooperative, they would have left when first told. The elements of the crime do not specify business, government or private property and in most cases, doesn't require prior notification.
While I understand this, the pretense of this is going into a store with a Walkie Talkie. I checked with my store manager and posted what he said in a different post. I am well aware of the legalities of what a business can, and cannot do, I also know about the police enforcing it. You trespass enough people for stupid stuff and you'll start loosing money. Some people at the local level need the revenue it affects their paychecks. (or even jobs).
At least the store in my town here isn't looking to trespass anyone with a radio on their belt. This thing has gone way off course. I totally understand a business can tell someone to get out (read trespass) and not return for any reason they wish. I've done it when I had my shop. Also I was called when I was a police officer to remove people that had been told not to return.
