[ScanIndiana] Scanner Law & Stuff

Tue, 9 Apr 2002 19:18:41 -0700 (PDT)

Thanks for the info on the cameras. I was told by a
3rd party that they had been installed.

I do remember an incident in Hamilton county just a
few years ago where a car was pulled over for having
too many antennaes. Turns out it was an FBI agent. The
story was in the Indianapolis News and also on TV.
Wonder what ever happened to that one?
