For a number of reasons ('security'), you don't hear about cases of interference with the emergency services, in case the evidence discloses how to do it for personal gain. (Anyone remember the 'Dick Barton' series that featured this?) The offending equipment is confiscated and future activities of people concerned are sometimes monitored. Even in peaceful old UK, the authorities go in heavy-handed against pirate broadcasters, and their own video shows that. (I can't find any reference to the video on the OFCOM web site so it may not be publicly available.) > >It seems as though there is very little enforcement in this area so I >will have to appeal to the desire to do what is right............... Ambulances don't at sick children and cardiac arrest victims, no firemen present at house fires with people trapped, police fail to respond to robbery with violence, especially at a B**e site.
