The answer to this can depend a lot on where you have the scanner and what you are using it for. Different counties and states and countries differ on how and where and even if it is legal to have a radio scanner.
There are some set provisions that are set forth in the US.
Some areas of the states may have restrictions such as if you have a scanner in your vehicle you are required to have permit. Other areas may not allow people that do not have a direct need for such equipment to not drive around with it.
Some things that are illegal in the states include listening to a telephone conversation whether it is a cellular phone or a cordless or listening to scrambled or encrypted communications.
