Was recently told this was illegal

Well, everyone has answered the OP's inquiry but only one or two have REALLY answered it.

Too many knee jerk reactions. Too many people waiving their 'rights' around.

Seriously dude? Mall cops on private Mall property have more rights and powers than any citizen scannerist waiving their bill of rights, or FCC CFR 47.

but do they have more authority than the Federal Government--who have the final word on rule enforcement?

Commercial security personnel are private citizens.

So if I put on my extreme whacker vest and park myself in a chair on your front porch with my ham radio, you can't remove me because FCC laws trump your private property rights?

Don't think so.

 

[KK4JUG]

Commercial property open to the public and private residential property rights are different. You're comparing apples and oranges.

 

[mikewazowski]

I would respectfully disagree. Private property is private property but then again, I'm not a lawyer.

Anyways, I think the OP got his answer somewhere in this long drawn out thread.
