It's not illegal to listen in to a police channel. It only becomes illegal if you transmit through it also.

It is only illeal if you act on what you hear and as Bokken said transmit.

At least where i'm from in NSW they are legal

It may depend on where you live?

Some of them also link you to the department's CAD(Computer Aided Dispatch). You can view current calls as well as seeing the status of units responding.

It's most certainly illegal here.

I'd never do anything illegal.
