You clearly can't listen to an (one-way) open mic; even on 450/455 MHz.
You clearly can't capture the video feed being beamed from one place to
another.  It seems pretty clear that you can monitor a two-way radio
conversation.  Define "two-way radio" however you like.

Here is how the media agencies around Indiana classify their respective
frequencies (notice the list is almost entirely "2way"):
  http://www.broadcast.net/~sbe25/450Mhz.html
  http://www.broadcast.net/~sbe25/455Mhz.html


"Repeater Output" is also a pretty good bet for "two way radio" since
one-way repeaters are pretty pointless.
