  21. This came from an attorny (who is a volunteer amb member), the law
  22. applies to  a scanner MOUNTED in the vehicle (perm. attachment).  You
  23. can get away with a portable scanner.  However, I agree with Bob that
  24. the law does vary from state to state.  I know in some areas you have to
  25. have a permit from the local police department.  i.e. New York City.
