The fact is - it is the law in the United States, and the FCC

I was simply interested in why that is the case for one sort of
licence that is granted as a privilege and not for another (i.e. driving
licence) which is also not an inalienable right.


The law does not need logic!

But the two are entirely different situations; the only commonality is
that both are privileges.

When I was a police dispatcher......

There were many "Clients" who, basically, felt "I don't need no
steenking license to drive no car"

Good for them cause I got to see their driving records and "Stinking" ..
Well,, kind of a mild description (To high heaven).

Some of the posts in this thread, remind me of those folks....

One of the reasons for licensing drivers is that when you get untrained
people out there or people who engage in dangerous activities or
irresponsible activities like drunk/drugged driving. They can KILL
folks, this makes a major mess and back about 1984 as i recall I made a
post titled "A cool million" which was roughly the estimated cost of
each and every highway fatality to the state I lived in at the time.

Well.. We have all read "Amateur Radio Saves Life" stories,, Imagine one
of these irresponsible types is blockading your emergency transmissions
with his... Stuff.... and as a result someone dies.

This is why we need licensing regulation.
