This might sound like a joke, but it isn't.

You know those back up safety lights they sell to install in and on
your car that uses the frequencies in the
ham bands?

However, Burger King has signs up saying "no videorecording or
photography allowed" and that "violators will be
prosecuted".

So with that sign, Burger King is telling all of us that it is against
the law to have safety lights on your car
because it violates Buger King's rules.

They seem as bad or maybe even worse than Palmdale, California.

But you all just KNOW that sometime somewhere some city will pass a
law requiring you to have those
safety backup lights on your car.

Whch also poses a problem in federal areas where they say "no cameras
allowed" and no photography" allowed
since it's NOT easy and is actually a pain to keep uninstalling them
and reinstalling them.

Such as if your city passes a law requiring them and you have to drive
to your local social security office for
some reaon, where they're prohibited by law.

Maybeit's an old retired ham or old retired cber.

To follow th law you must break the law. That is

To follow the law of no cameras permitted anywhere on social security/
federal property, you must remove them
BEFORE you get your car on that property, but by doing so, you are
breaking your city's law by not having
them on your car while on city property off of federal property.

But following the law to have them on your car on city property means
you must have them on your car
until your car is completely off of city property which means until
AFTER par of your car is on federal property
and you're now in violation of federal law prohibiting cameras on
federal property.

Of more concer is where radio transmissions are prohibited because of
explosives. But you CAN't just uninstall
them willy-nilly. Its too hard of a job to do that.

And who is Burger King to tell me that I'm not allowed to have safety
lights on my car???????

yeah, some smart aleck is probably wanting to answer, "Well, he is the
king."

Not in the U.S., he isn't.

Seriously, in my opinion, the Burger King company,corporation,
whatever they are, has NO business telling
me that I MUST drive more dangerously.

And that I MUST risk running over kids that are too small to see
behind my car with the mirrors while backing up.

Or their pets.

Who is Burger /king to tell me that I HAVE to run over innocent little
kids because having transmitting safety backup lights on my car
violates Burger King's rules against "no cameras, no photograhy, and
no videorecording?????

Guess what? With those safety backup lights transmitting on the ham
bands, even if I don't do any videorecording, you just KNOW that
there's probably going to be some ham somewhere in his own house
watching it and videorecording it from his own house.

Maybe even several hams at their own homes videorecording the
transmissions from the safety backup lights.

So take that, Burger King.

Of course, with their sign, they have already threatened to call the
police and prosecute anyone they catch with
any kind of camera on their property.

Once, even while inside Burger King, the manager came up to me and
told me to get rid of my "camera" that
I had because it's against the law and not allowed inside there.

Until I then showed him that my so-called "camera" was NOT a "camera"
at all, but an Icom IC-R3 tv set.

Yes, the idiot BK manager thought my Icom IC-R3 radio/tv reciever was
a "camera".
