Laws vary. You might try to do an internet of your state statutes.
Here is Florida it is prohibited with 3 exceptions. Newspaper agencys,
some Alarm Contractors and, fortunately for me, any person with a
valid Amateur Radio License.

I keep a copy of the my ham license and a copy of the statute with the
Ham license exception in my glove box because I don't expect our LE
agents to know everything.
