PERSONAL NOTE: Watch out for local City Ordinances. It has been my own experience
(ex., in Ocean City in 1989/90) that some NJ cities believe thier own ordinances preempt
that of the State and Federal Government, and not the other way around. You can take it
to court and fight it; but you're without your scanner in the meanwhile if it is confiscated.
My advice, go to the local Law Library and look up the local ordinances for the cities you
plan to travel into/through while in NJ. (And don't let your scanner be obvious while in
Ocean City. The local laws there may have changed since my visit; but until known for sure
-- I wouldn't take the chance.) -TS
