Why was the "scanners" topic closed?

Some guy mentioned they are illegal. Just for the record, that's absolute tosh. It is illegal to use/pass on/act upon information received on a scanner, but not to own one or listen to one. Just like it is illegal to speed in a motor car, but not illegal to own one. Misinformation like that really bugs me. :mad: People…

It was "off-topic" for the forum. This thread is also off-topic, this is not the place to discuss either radio scanners or moderation decisions.
