Just an FYI. In order to cite someone for violating rules which do not involved licensed activity, one must first be given a written warning, called a citation. If after receiving the citation, one repeats the conduct, it is considered wilfull conduct. If no citation is given, the court will strike down the fine if the conduct involves unlicensed activity. The FCC agent went to great lengths to construe the CB rules as requiring a license, so he could dispense with the requirement of a citation. It is not going to work. Just another example of the bullying tactics of the FCC. In this case, I would represent the guy because I know that the FCC will be required to reimburse his attorney fees. What the FCC agent has done is what we, in the legal profession, like to call BS.
You put into better words what thought I was alluding to in my first paragraph.
Couldn't agree more . . .
