The Federal Communications Commission has issued an unusual weekend enforcement warning that boils down to this: Don't use ham radio, CBs, FRS walkie-talkies or other personal radio services to plan crimes.

This comes as federal and local government and law enforcement officials around the country report concerns over possible terrorist attacks from disgruntled Trump supports enraged by the outcome of the election and stoked by the recent attack on the Capitol.

The Enforcement Bureau "has become aware of discussions on social media platforms suggesting that certain radio services regulated by the commission may be an alternative to social media platforms for groups to communicate and coordinate future activities," the FCC said in a statement issued Sunday morning.

"The Bureau recognizes that these services can be used for a wide range of permitted purposes including speech that is protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution," it said. But it continued in bold font: "Amateur and Personal Radio Services, however, may not be used to facilitate crimes."

An entire movie where CB radios are used to plan and execute an interstate crime of bootlegging.

Always wear your mask when planning crimes from your HAM radio. Wouldn't want the recipient getting COVID now would you?

This is as bizarre as the letter put out by the military last week.

And just like that 80 year old tech is more anonymous than current.

As a long-time Ham operator, it has always been illegal to use the public airwaves "...to commit or facilitate criminal acts."

That said, everything comes down to how you define "criminal acts". The definition seems be be getting looser every day.

I wonder if the FBI is influenced by fake news and dem narratives. Or the fact they know the election was truly stolen and are paranoid.

I think everyone is in CYA mode right now. Don't want to not do something in case anything happens that might have something to do with their bailiwicks.
