All these will work on the Police frequencies, and most other UHF gear if
you know what your doing with it :) 

It's just a matter what you use it for, It's not illegal to have gear
police/Fire TX capable, but to press the PTT, outside an emergency is an
offence.

Hi Guys,
For about the last 5 or so minutes, there has been some clown playing piano
music over 75.350MHz.
It interrupted the turn-out of Ashburton 621 and 627 to a house fire.
What I'd like to know is where did an idiot like this get the gear to
transmit on this frequency?
Causing this sort of interference to a Life Safety channel, is probably
about one of the worst radio offences one can commit, under the Radio
Communications Act 1989.
Sure we used to have the odd person back in the late 80's/early 90's used to
block the odd CB channel with music or some other crap, but that is totally
different, police or fire staff depend on communications for their own
safety and the safety of the public.

This is just rediculous.

Regards,
Mike T.
