Installing or carrying a police radio scanner in your
car is illegal in New Jersey, unless you are a
policeman, fireman, or on a rescue squad and require
a scanner to meet the obligations of your job.

In New Jersey the local police, for the most part, all
have separate frequencies.  The state police also use
a number of frequencies depending on the circumstances
and what part of the state they are in.

It is unlikely that you would hear the police setting
up a radar trap on the scanner; in fact the only
time you would probably hear them is when they radio in
your license plate number after they have pulled you over.

I believe the CB is more useful in gaining advance
warning about possible radar traps or police activity.
