it is NOT ILLEGAL to monitor cellular or cordless phones...those that like
to make you think otherwise are associated with the lobby that bought
congress...these laws have no teeth..they are not worth the paper they
are printed on...I have never had to go to court or worse jail for
something I enjoy doing all the time....people make this enjoyable because
they will talk about almost anything on these devices!

COrdless Phones 49-50mhz and 46-47mhz range..lets throw in BABY MONITORS
too these transmit EVERYTHING that they hear inside a room or house.

Cellular Phones can be interesting to listen to if one or both parties are
not moving...if one of the parties in the conversation is moving (in a car
driving) they usually will move to a new cell site and change
frequencies...just when the conversation begins to get interesting....
you can search and find call on new frequency...someties it will
still be there...other times they will have finished and have hung up.

hey..there was this guy (reported on the news) who used his cordless or
cell phone  to call sex lines and talk to his sex therapist....his
neighbors heard everything..one neighbor told this guy that he was the
laughing stock of the neighborhood...the guy attempted tosue the cellular
and cordless phone mfgrs and the place where he bought the phone.....
now I think he uses a land line to talk to his sex therapist.

Oh yeah..now that soneone heard NEWT G. we can cll this monitoring law
stuff "newt's law.

You & I both know it is illegal in the US to monitor cell & cordless
phone calls.
But I will be the first to ask "What are the chances of getting caught on
stupid law?"
Not to mantion this privacy hogwash doesn't stop anyone from listening
anyway.

When contact lenses become commonly available in North Carolina, opticians
(who are licensed to measure eyes) wanted a peice of the action. However,
the opthamologists (who are licensed to treat diseases of the eye) argued
that only *they* should prescribe contact lenses... since lenses after all
*are* foriegn objects in the eye which could cause an infection.

The legislature listened to both sides, and passed a law that opticians
could sell lenses only if a person visited an othpthamologist and got a
prescription saying he was "OK for contact lenses."

So anyway, I went to an optician and got lenses without an opthamologist's
prescription. The optician said that it wasn't *really* a law in a certain
legal sense until someone was prosecuted, and the basis of the law was
upheld in court.

This happens all the time. Plenty of laws are passed, only to be struck
down because they are unconstitutional, discriminatory, conflict with
existing law, are unenforceable, etc.

My point: Yes, listening to cellular phone calls is against an *existing*
law. But until someone is tried and the law *passes muster with the
courts*, it's in limbo.

Still, I would not like to be the test case.....

Exactly . You would have to be pretty dumb to listen in on your neighbor
talk to his *** & then go up to him & say "Hey Fred so your messing
arround with Suzie from your office behind Gloira's back? Man when you
get off on your phone man do you get off!!".
