Yes it is against the law. Federal law, the FCC regulates the re-transmission of communications on frequencies where they are not specifically authorized.Is it illegal to air a police scanner over a walkie talkie?
it probably shouldn't be since both are legal to own and it is being sent over citizens' bandIs it illegal to air a police scanner over a walkie talkie?
It could be illegal under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. It provides exemptions enabling you to intercept electronic communications of police, etc. It specifically forbids disclosing what you intercept, and I don't see any exemptions for that. But have a look, maybe you'll see something I missed: http://floridalawfirm.com/privacy.html
No you can do what ever you want with it for the most part. It is public domain. We go into a secure mode when we are talking about sensitive things that you won't be able to get on your scanner anyways.
