NOTE: The Department of Communications has the following to
say about the use of scanners:
"The use of scanners to
receive radio transmissions is not illegal. However, no person is allowed to
reveal the information that is received, or to use the information for
personal gain,without the permission of the originator. You should also be
aware that in the Highways Traffic Act for Manitoba, there is a regulation
prohibiting the use of scanners capableof receiving police transmissions in
vehicles. The Criminal Code has resrictions on the use of information that
has been obtained by monitoring radio telephone communications."
