 JO> TV, radio stations, and newspapers are not non-profit. They are
 JO> using the information to dispatch reporters and photographers to
 JO> gather information and photos which are placed in their broadcast
 JO> or publication which they sell for a profit. What they are selling
 JO> is the information they have gathered from listening.
 JO> How is this legal?
 When a media and/or reporter obtains a PRESS PASS from the local police
 department or sheriff's office, there is an implied (if not actual)
 permission for the media and reporters to use the imformation obtained.
 Use your noggin and think WHY a law enforcement agency issues press
 passes in the first place.  And why some will go so far as allow the
 media the use of a trucking radio to monitor its dispatches.
 Use your noggin and think how the First Amendment takes precedence
 over any law of Congress or FCC rule.
