No it's not. As long as someone receives a radio transmission through
a legal device, what's said on it is totally open to the public.

This is not true in the United States, as I understand it.
From NF2G's very nice site: "Section 705 (47 USCA 605) states that it is
unlawful to disclose the content of radio transmissions overheard unless
they are amateur radio traffic, broadcasts to the public or distress
calls. It is unlawful under this section to use traffic monitored for
personal gain."

Please note that police transmissions are NOT "broadcasts to
the public" but are rather two-way communications. Unless the
law has changed drastically since my youth, it is in fact, in
the US, illegal to disclose the content of monitored transmissions
unless they are intended for public use.
