JUST DON'T SPEED. Think of the money you'll save if you don't have to buy detectors, pay ticket costs, pay lawyers, etc.

Turn your scanner on.
Yep, but make sure it's a good scanner that has digital/trunk tracking capabilities.

It's not illegal to listen to scanners. Only if used in conjuntion with a crime, such as robbing a store or burglarizing a home, not speeding.
