[Scan-DC] Legality of Rebroadcasting Fairfax County Police/FireTrunked System on the Internet

[David Lloyd]

This may help.. It doens't really cover rebroadcasting... but maybe this is
a lead.  I'm thinking to check the FCC website, too.

>From Radio Shack's PRO-96 Manual:   "According to the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible
imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the
contents of such a transmission unless you have the consent of a part to the
communication (unless such activity is otherwise illegal)."

*I am not a lawyer nor a representative of any legal organisation, therefore
this legal advice may not be accurate, nor construed as professional legal
advice.*   IE: I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on TV.
