Since the issue is so important, this month we'll discuss even more about the legal implications of video transmitters. We'll expose some blatantly illegal tactics on the part of several suppliers, and straighten out some misconceptions about the law. Remember, for other than federal agencies, the only type of video transmitter legal to use or possess (or advertise) is an FCC type accepted (license free) unit. 900 megacycle --the most popular -- types accepted transmitters have an extremely limited range of typically 150 feet. For purposes of the law, state and local police departments are considered consumers and are bound by the FCC type acceptance requirement. To use or possess any non-type accepted unit is illegal, and any evidence gathered by its use is inadmissible under the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine. In spite of this, most suppliers knowingly continue to offer illegal equipment to law enforcement. Don't be stung. Do your homework and ensure you purchase a legal system. Federal agencies are exempt from FCC type acceptance requirements and are permitted to do pretty much anything they want. Equipment sold to the Feds (not type accepted, so illegal to other than federal guys) is capable of working well.
