There is now a prohibition against manufacturing scanners that can receive the cellular telephone bands. That doesn't prevent using scanners manufactured before the prohibition. But, anyway, that issue is largely moot, since cellular calls are now mostly digital.

And, some states prohibit listening to law enforcement frequencies while in an automobile.

Do you have information that leads you to believe otherwise?
