Back when I owned a strictly 2-way shop, we used to sell radios to local LEOs, programmed on the PD's channels all the time. Of course, the local Batwing MSS didn't like us doing that (we sold a competing brand) and got the C.O.P to write us a letter telling us how what we were doing was illegal (the claim was that we can't sell radios programmed on PD channels). This was during the late 80's and through most of the 90's.
I wrote the C.O.P. back, explaining that it was perfectly legal for me to sell radios programmed on ANY frequency I wanted to ANYone. But of course, being the responsible member of the community that I am, I would only sell such programmed radios to authorized personnel only. We never had another bit of complaints from the PD although the MSS didn't like us one bit (too bad - I made a career out of tweaking the Big M). My how times have changed....
