From the WSJ comments:
Send them to jail and have them listen to junk calls everyday. One of those 10,000,000 calls can get them out of jail. It’s up to them to ignore or pick up the phone.
i dont answer any phone number that I dont know and my message feature is shut off.
cuomo said He’s making it illegal for robocallers to call folks who live in NY- $2000 per call- Yeah right- good luck with that NY’ers-
May all robocaller scammers have perpetually soggy and fungus infected feet-
Criminals seldom pay civil penalties. Who knew?
Forget about fining them. Shoot a few of them and the calls will fall off real fast.
Same would happen on gun regs.
Do not comply.
The gov’t needs to sic some bill collectors on them.
You know call the deadbeats again and again and again....
can people REALLY be that stupid ????? ( well, probably, most huge mexican familys get the group discounts ( 4 for the price of 1) and single people have to subsidize them, so yes, I can believe it, especially if they polled the people with family plans
If you get fined by the FCC, and you think the government is in the wrong, simply refuse to pay. The FCC does not have the authority to collect its civil fines. Rather, the Department of Justice has to go to federal district court and sue “de novo”. The fundamental fairness of FCC rules and procedures would then be on trial.
I’m guessing the DOJ believes that they would get their lunch handed to them in federal district court.
‘Government efficiency’?
Our tax dollars at work, once again. Nothing new and actually getting quite old. Government agencies across the spectrum needs to force out the top three tiers of agency management and bring in some new blood with contracts stipulating efficiency standards or they will be removed as well.
I wonder what percentage of the fines the offenders would be able to actually cough up, were this all enforced.
