Our Your Stories Q & A for Tuesday comes from a viewer who has a police scanner in his home. It’s a radio receiver which picks up communication between police, fire and other emergency personnel.

Joe asked, “Is it legal to keep one inside your house? What about in your vehicle?”

We called Syracuse Police. They told us it is not illegal to have a scanner in your home. If you have one in your car, however, you can get a ticket.

If you’ve got a question for us, call (315) 446-9900, or send an e-mail to yourstories@9wsyr.com.
