Re: It is illegal!
said by Count Hogula$  :
The armed forces aren't licensed to own anything...they just do it. They have radar that uses the same frequencies as other radar but with power way above what is normally permitted by the FCC. Unless there is a complaint...the military should do what it pleases. And even if their is a complain...the duties of the military outweigh the duties of civilians.
Military is there to serve a civilian regime.
Military being military does not give any excuse. They have to answer civilian authority. If they have reasonable need for certain frequencies or modes of they should be authorized for that.
Protecting the country also means protecting the laws and institutions of the country and respecting the rules and laws. Otherwise, you quickly become a military dictatorship.
Now if armed forces are breaking the laws knowingly and on purpose shame on them and shame on our institutions that fail to address the issue.
BTW, there are procedures set up between FAA and Military air operations regulating the flights of military planes. It might be less restrictive wrt civilian aircraft but it does not mean there are no rules there. They do that because they are granted for that. |
