having recently issued a rule against mobile operating.

Not sure about all mobile radios? but here in Michigan if one wishes to have
a scanner in the vehicle and they are not a licensed radio amateur they must
obtain a permit from the Michigan State Police. It's been that way for a
long time.

Are these connected? Has the possession / use of mobile radio equipment
been targeted for repression, in a similar manner as the possession of
firearms?

I don't like the trend I've been seeing in the U. S. The place is
rapidly becoming less and less "free". Liberties I have taken for
granted all my life are being chipped away, state by state.

I suppose the problem is that the possession of mobile radio equipment
(like the possession of firearms) gives a person some "power" of which
the government is afraid. It is indeed unfortunate that the people are
now so feared and mistrusted by their own government.

I don't have the answers, but I am alarmed. I think we all need to wake
up to what is happening in the land of the free and the home of the
brave. It's not pretty.

Geez I hope so. Maybe then people will go back to holding onto the steering
wheel once in a while! hehe

Damn son I'm impressed! Managed to reply to a reply to a troll and didn't
even include the word radio or scanner or shortwave.

Not to mention quoting everything and top posting. Oops guess I did.

FWIW - the majority of US states have no laws regarding the use of radio
equipment in a mobile.
