you realize those scanner apps have to be received somewhere and then streamed over the internet to work. Most of the time they are tapped into scanner banks in different cities that are already streaming to the internet.

Yes I know where the feeds come from. I'm a feed provider for Radio Reference. The point is this: almost every living being in North America has a smart phone now. Tens of thousands have a police scanner app installed. Would a person be cited for using the app in a motor vehicle without proper credentials?

Most ham radios can be modified to transmit on police frequencies. It’s very simple. Whenever i buy a ham, first thing i do is modify it, by opening up the transmit frequencies.

It’s very easy to do and not illegal. Just do a google search for your radio. Lots of sites with photos pop up.

Usually just need soldering iron and tweezers and magnifying glass to remove a very small diode. Cb’s can be opened up too.

I do this to all of my radios as well.
