The FCC stopped sending out CB licenses decades ago – yet the lack
of one triggered a $15K penalty. The FCC fined a man named John
Hays $15,000 for operating a Citizens Band radio without a
license.
Wait a minute. You don’t need a license for a CB radio. Well, okay,
technically you do, but it’s not something you have to apply for.
Everybody with a CB radio is automatically deemed to have one. The
FCC calls this “license by rule,” a legal fiction that simplifies
life for everybody. Including the FCC, which long ago got tired of
licking stamps to send out actual licenses.
But if CB licenses are automatically granted to all CBers, how
could Mr. Hays get in trouble for not having one?
The power limit for CB radios is four watts. Mr. Hays had used an
illegal device, called a linear amplifier, that stepped up his
transmitter power to 750 watts. When the FCC showed up at his door
and explained the rules, Mr. Hays voluntarily disconnected and
destroyed the device. But a few months later he was using another
one, down to 75 watts, but still well above the legal limit.
The FCC charged Mr. Hays with operating without a license.
Follow us closely here. The FCC takes the view that the
license-by-rule regime applies only to CB radios that comply with
the technical rules. Mr. Hays’s overpowered radio did not comply,
and therefore was not covered by license-by-rule. That put Mr. Hays
in violation for having no license. The base fine for the offense
is $10,000. The FCC boosted the amount to $15,000, in view of the
repeat violation.
Does this make sense? Not to us. If Mr. Hays had applied for a
license to operate at 750 watts in the CB band – or even 75 watts –
he would have been turned down. For one thing, the FCC no longer
gives out individual CB licenses. And even if it did, it would not
knowingly license a transmitter over four watts. So Mr. Hays was
fined for not doing something the FCC would not have let him do. As
in an earlier case, this strikes us as fundamentally unfair.
Not that Mr. Hays should necessarily walk away scot-free. The FCC
could properly have cited him for exceeding the power limits, or
for use of unauthorized equipment, and maybe for both. These
offenses carry base fines of $4,000 and $5,000, respectively. If
the numbers are not big enough to satisfy the FCC’s sense of
justice, it can adjust them upwards (within limits set by Congress)
as the circumstances of particular cases might warrant. But we
think it is wrong instead to run up the fine by alleging violation
of a rule as to which compliance is impossible.
