[ScanIndiana] Scanner Law??

[Stacey Whaley]

Hi Everyone,

I know that here in Southern Indiana it is illegal to
carry my scanner around in the car.  I have a few
questions regarding this law:

A. Can you carry it around your neighborhood while you
are out walking?

B. I�ve been told that I can get a chief or sheriff of
a police department to write a document and sign it
that gives me permission to carry my scanner in the
car.  Is this correct?

C. If it is indeed true that officers of the PD can
give permission, have any of you received this kind of
permission and how hard is it to get? (I realize I�d
probably have to swear not to use my scanner as an
ambulance chaser, etc.)

D. You can carry it in your car if you have an
Amateur�s Radio Operating license?

E. If I want to take my scanner to work or to the
campground, for instance, am I allowed to pack it in a
bag?  I would probably have to take the batteries out,
remove the antenna, etc.; just in case I got pulled
over for anything and got searched they could see I
wasn�t using it.  (I�m looking at the worst-case
scenario; I doubt I�d ever be searched for any
reason.)

Thanks for your help!
