... Does anyone besides me remember Pres. Clinton signing the bill that transfered authority to the local police to enforce the cb rules and regulations? I think it was attatched to the tail of another bill, and it was one of those all or none deals. If that did indeed happen, then Mr.Jones can record the activity with his VCR, and call the police while it is going on so they can see it for themselves. He may have to dig up documentation on the internet to prove to the police that they do indeed have jurisdiction over the cb band and it's operators. I have great faith in our local police. They are great guys. They do their jobs well. BUT.. They like MOST cops wouldn't know the first thing about proving the origin of a signal. NOR are they equipped to do it. To prosecute, they need EVIDENCE! Further, most magistrates I doubt are educated enough on RF to make a sound ruling in such issues. What they MAY do, is consider calling upon the likes of a local CB shop (reputable) or a 2 way radio shop to aid in proving such a case. I don't see that happening - as then you may have them hit with fees for service - falling on the tax payers expense. Yes, they could call in others, but for the report to be valid, I'm sure the magistrate would want to see proof positive of experience. A simple license doesn't mean much to some. So, though that law - I do believe - was passed, I wouldn't jump for joy in it just yet. I still say - call the FCC. Chances are, if he is tearing you up that bad, others are getting it too. Have them also contact the FCC. G.W. |
