What a jerk! I would have asked him to key his mike to prove that it didn't 
have the crystal in it.
I was asked politely so I did. If it had been an order, that would have been
a different story. If there is no law against it they can't tell you to turn 
it off. I was quite surprised that an Ohio Trooper would ask it, but I have 
never had a Kentucky cop say a word to me. 
I would bet that my fire dept window sticker gets me looked over in KY. They 
wouldn't want the publicity most likely. I have my county fire and police 
frequencies and the neighboring county for mutual aid runs, so I doubt they 
would have a legitimate gripe. 
What state did your incident happen in?
... A police state is great, so long as you're the police.
