2) Railfan [by Anonymous Citizen on June 15, 2006]
Has the scanner law amendment been put into law yet. I know the governor signed it on March 2 but I want to know if it is now acceptable to carry a scanner as a railfan without a state police authorized permit. I am not a felon and therefore do the new provisions do not apply to me. By the way, my wife talked to our local state police about this issue yesterday and they still think it is illegal.
