What exactly is the situation? > Radar detectors are also illegal in Virginia. Re monitoring: this can't be the case. For example, it is illegal in all states that I know about to have a police scanner IN YOUR CAR.

I find the fact that you can be prosecuted for having tools for a crime without ever committing a crime highly disturbing. -- Mike St. Johns Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!msj StJohns@MIT-Multics.ARPA (404) 982-0035
