I read where in Britian that the authorities over there were doing that
In fairness they have a tendency to let you get on with it nowadays if you ain't interfering with any of their revenue sources, a far more relaxed approach to their 70/80's bust anything that moves style, although in fairness with shitty analogue tv coverage,even shitter tv's,AM/SSB was causing havoc,so even then with their increased manpower (tory cutbacks have helped the cb'er of late) they would only act if you were causing rfi/tvi,most people I've heard of busted in the past few years was for dicking with ham repeaters as the usual ham v's cb war eternally rages,well when they ain't slagging off each others station,manners,sexuality,football loyalty etc etc.
If they are doing that and are cb'ers then they deserve to be busted as all it achieves is irate hams dicking about on 555 as payback, ironically though many of the jammers are hams too,who spat the dummy because they lack the personality for anyone to talk to them so they start acting retarded for attention,
There is talk of Ofcom finally legalising AM/FM/SSB on FCC frequencies thus allowing our people freedom of speech legally albeit 32 years too late,not that many gave a fuck about the fact it was illegal anyway,let's face it,its only illegal when you get caught,lol.
Bottom line is simple,if there's a demand, there will be a product, be it sold openly,under the counter,in pubs,in shady back streets,illegal radios are no different to illegal drugs,where there is a demand people will be willing to take risks to fullfill it and make a profit.Just like they did with booze under prohibition.
