Using scanners - the LAW for the UK

It is illegal to listen to any signal other than "general reception transmissions" (i.e. TV, AM/FM radio, CB, HF, ham?) unless licensed or specifically authorised by Secretary of State.

It is illegal to disclose information heard to third party

The general consensus of the monitoring population is that you can listen to pretty much everything and won't be bothered EXCEPT for police transmissions! Don't get caught by police with a scanner...even just having their frequencies programmed into memory will land you in jeopardy.
