Besides you will create more noise then necessary and risking creating interference for yourself and everyone else that try to operate with in the "laws" I guess not. But if everyone thing along those lines that there is nothing wrong except risking being fined then entire part15 would fall a part and nobody would manage to get anything through because everyone would run amps and the noise floor would be so low that you wouldn't be able to get links longer then about a mile or less to work.
