   In this case, it is because they retransmit the signal in the vehicle.   
      
   However there is an also expectation of privacy.  The default UK   
   position is that you need a licence to receive radio transmissions,   
   although there are some exemptions.   
      
   Even the US makes it illegal to listen on cellular frequencies, even   
   though other frequencies, including the police, were open.   
      
   I don't think either country has changed its legislation to reflect that   
   cellular systems are now encrypted.
