Does the FCC think that people will actually pay $75 bucks for a
licence when u can use a gmrs without one and not get caught.
How can they catch you if you don't give out your name on the radio and
make up call letters?

As a ham operator,I can point out people who get busted all the time.
Believe me, they will find you.



They don't learn. They get warned all the time. Then when they get
caught, they just cry and say "i didn't know".


for sure. They can hide but not for long. Once the FCC has your scent,
you're a dead duck.


Yeah, and those GMRS radios smell really bad. What chance do you think
the FCC will have catching someone running around with a hand held? Not
very good.
