Your wireless router is also transmitting a signal to my laptop without my permission. Maybe you should go to jail for that.

Do you have a license to transmit that signal onto my property?

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi operates in an unlicense industrial band. No license is required as long as the emissions meet the FCC requirements for frequency, modulation and power. The FCC specifically requires you to tolerate any interference from other users of that frequency band. You don't have legal recourse.

Again, you have no recourse given the laws on the books regarding transmissions from the device certified by the FCC. Cordless phones and microwave ovens also emit those frequencies. They are exempt under the same legal statutes.

I don't need a licence so long as I am within frequency and power requirements set by the FCC.

Nor does my signal interfere with you in any way unless YOU specifically request access to it by attempting to connect to it.

So your argument has no merit.
