No law bars felons specifically from owning scanners. Usage, however, is more restrictive. CA Penal Code 636.5 prohibits usage to assist in a crime/evade or escape arrest. LA Code SEC. 52.44 prohibits listening to police/fire RF comms without a permit. https://california.public.law/codes/penal_code_section_636.5 https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/los_angeles/latest/lamc/0-0-0-136187
