Are FIRE-POLICE-EMS scanner apps for smart phones legal in WEST VIRGINIA?

West Virginia Code §15-3-5. 

"Use of information obtained by interceptions of transmissions on department of public safety communications system forbidden; penalties.

"No person shall intercept any message or transmission made on or over any communications system established by the department of public safety and use the information obtained thereby to aid, abet or assist in committing a crime, or in violating any law of this state, or use the same in a manner which will interfere with the discharge of the department's operations.

"Any person who violates any provision of this section or of section two of this article shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to confinement in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year or by a fine of an amount not to exceed five hundred dollars or by both such confinement and fine in the discretion of the court."

Explaining the difference:

Conventional is the old standard type of scanning, using a dedicated frequency, such as 154.905 Mhz, assigned to each function, such as Dispatch, Car-to-Car, or ‘Channel 3.’

Trunking uses trunk technology, in which a pool of 3 to 24 frequencies is shared by many users. No frequency is assigned to any specific use.
