You know, if I owned an electronics business and sold scanners and other
communications receivers, I'd probably hand out a local frequency list, too.
AND, if the cops came in and complained about it, I'd smile at them and
tell them to go pound salt.
It's public record, after all, and I'd bet heavily that any attempt to
prohibit disemination of that information would be held unconstitutional
by both state and federal courts.
I support my local police, but not when they act like idiots. :)
