You are not aware of the law. There are circumstances where the law does

Can you point out one?

There is in existance, in practice, if not in statute, a rule that states
you may use any frequency to summon help when life or limb are in danger.
These days, I think it would be a lot more difficult to prove you needed to
do so, since such things as cell phones, etc. are readily available to
anyone, and if you're back far enough in the toolies that you can't get to a
phone, you're not likely to be heard on VHF or UHF anyway.. and not a lot of
back country types cart around an HF rig and antenna system.

I agree, and I'd bet there is probably a statute as well.
