[BC] Pirates...Aaarghh!

[Bruce Doerle]

Probably some ACLU lawyer is looking at it right now.

But I think it has been a cooperative effort in conjunction with the FCC which does not have the diligent efforts of Justice Department to support them.  Whereas the State of Florida seeks a remedy to protect their businesses including broadcasters.  This can go a long way in south Florida which is overflowing with pirate stations in dangerous neighborhoods.  The FCC is not going to risk their Radio Inspectors without the proper protection.  FDLE can provide that and the local enforcement (lockup and confiscation).

Not bad, I hope they continue with the program with due diligence.

Florida has a pirate law. It is, I believe, based on endangerment of public
safety and interference with government and emergency communications. Since
I doubt any pirate will challenge the law, it stands.

Although I have no sympathy for radio pirates, isn't this outside the 
jurisdiction of Florida, and a federal matter?
