Some are, some aren't. The biggest pain is dealing with "trunked" systems. These systems use multiple frequencies that you need to know how to program. Some agencies however (like Orange County Sheriff) are encrypted. But CHP, LAPD, and local agencies, for the southern California area anyway, are normally not encrypted.

The one I have as you can see is far from a "trunked" model. Just your average Uniden BearCat.....it autoscan for police radio, cb & weather. I'm not planning on robbing any banks anytime soon, I just like to listen to what's "happening" on the airwaves.

Be careful some State may not allow a scanner in a car. Either way if stoped you will be scrutinized more closely. My '70 Fury was given permission by the local authoritiy (letter) to have all functioning Police equipment in the car. However that does not make it permissable to abuse it and do illegal stuff.

Looking more and more like the joyride car.....
That should come in handy next time your doing 130mph on 295

Just personal touches, nothing that can't be undone or wrecks anything permanently. The bracket for the scanner screws in at original hole locations with original screws, its custom. I don't plan on drilling new holes into anything.
What's a joyride car?

Ohhh, gotcha....I remember now. I don't push at all 130. I've had the needle flat lined twice (stops at 120) just for look sees and that's it. Don't want to risk blowing the motor or causing a ruckus out there on 295......or gulp, dying....I can't take the car with me......plus it's gonna need a good Freon recharge where I'm most likely headed.

That's just nasty.
If you have a waist line beyond 32-34 and/or tons of body hair you ought to be tar and feathered (in your speedo) for even daring to wear it out in public....that's just down right offensive.

I thought this guy was a gag actor from Skid Row for the commercial. Turns out that he's the billionaire owner of Patrone Tequila and cofounder of Paul Mitchell hair products.

The fire extinguisher is a good idea. I had a ps line go once and it sprayed fluid all over the manifold. Guess what happened next...
