I would be interested in how it is done : listening in to police
communications.

(I thought it was illegal - but now understand that it isn't - and
people
like
Simon do it quite legally)

Not only illegal, ****ing impossible. Airwave is utterly secure.
Mason lives in a world of his own.

When I was a kid and we got our radiogram, it was possible to listen to
the Metropolitan Police talking to police cars on FM. Normally couldn't
hear the cars' responses unfortunately, unless the MP arranged a
car-to-car.

I did the same, great fun!
