Next time you get stopped I want you to tell the officer just what isn't any of his business and see what happens...lol The cell phones are direct evidence that the driver was breaking the law by using it while driving.The cop has the authority to take said evidence when there has been an accident. As far as just stopping cars at random and taking their phones...this isn't going to happen.

So your argument is, "Right or wrong, he's got the gun", or what?

How does that have anything to do with the statement I was agreeing with (that officers should not be allowed to just fish for evidence)?

I hope you're right, but I never say never.

No one has yet to have an answer for the case of people (like me) who use blue tooth devices, which are perfectly legal in my state and in most states (if not all).

I'll agree with you without watching the video. The example I saw was about $1500 and involved making a bogus mini tower. I didn't read far enough to see if a scanner was involved at all.

Going this far and getting caught would be a lot more serious than cutting a diode to free up the 800 band and I bet you know exactly what I'm taking about

I have a 2006 that hasn't been turned on in years and the same vintage handheld. I also had or have whatever this is: Listening to Satellites on a Handheld Scanner but a quick search didn't reveal the softkey model that I modded once upon a time.

Another example of where someone changes the argument, argues against it and then thinks they accomplished something.
