take the EPA for example. There are legitimate environmental concerns but this agency is nothing but an oppressive tool of the left. How about the IRS? The BATF? Could any activity from these agencies ever be trusted to be legitimate?
I got the point. The FCC has had their own enforcement arm for this for eons, they don’t want to farm this out to locals who might be predisposed to softsoap the perps, which in this case would be a pretty good bet (they’re race-hustling pals of fellow race-hustler pols. They’ve been allowed to get away with flagrantly breaking the law for 7-8 years because they’re the correct race).
I understand what you’re saying. But, the FCC is not the EPA or IRS. It’s not proper trying to shoehorn all alphabet soup agencies into the same model of enforcement. I’ve already been called all sorts of names for suggesting the FCC is the appropriate tool for the job in this case. If the violations are a technology issue, you need technology people seizing the evidence, not LEOs. AFAIK, LEOs were there to ensure no violence was committed against the FCC people.
One of the big gripes I hear around here is over the selective enforcement of laws.
Was this station operating in accordance with the law?
Obviously, it was not.
Should the law be changed? Perhaps, but that’s the job of Congress, not unelected bureaucrats.
The fact remains-this unlicensed station came to the attention of the FCC as early as 2008. At the time, they apparently did not take action to permanently shut it down, as the law allows.
If you read through the descriptions of other enforcement actions, pirates frequently shut down only temporarily and then restart.
Why did the FCC wait until 2014 to finish the job they started in 2008?
The corruption here is not that they shut the station down in 2014, it’s that they didn’t permanently shut it down in 2008.
