Why are cellular bands blocked on receivers? ka9wgn on 28/8/11
The law seems to be 47cfr15.121 2(b): (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, scanning receivers shall reject any signals from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service frequency bands that are 38 dB or lower based upon a 12 dB SINAD measurement, which is considered the threshold where a signal can be clearly discerned from any interference that may be present.

What is the specific FCC law or ruling that prevents receiving the blocked spectrum? (It is rather hard to petition to remove a rule with out knowing which rule we want to remove.)
