In the U.S.A., in all states, in is not illegal to listen to received RF
energy. This is still a free country with the right to do as you wish on
anything that is transmitted.
The only caviot is you are not allowed to profit or cause hardship from the
received information, unless all parties involved in the received
converstations agree to your disclosure.
The FCC (US Federal Communications Commission) is the authority on this and
t
is all public knowledge. Call your local office.
