The top post, that's far more interesting, as it is immediately perceivable without equipment. This isn't the same as "broadcast radio" RF, where you can choose to simply turn off the radio.
- nxzero 10y agoAgree, more comparable example related would be sound ordnance and freedom of speech. There are a number of laws related to endangering the public using light; for example, the issues related to lasers and airplane pilots.
- donutz 10y agoYou the property owner can turn off your radio, sure, but what if the radio is broadcasting fart sounds? You wouldn't want to have the reputation of the business where customers could turn on their radio to hear fart sounds, would you? Or embarrassing facts about you or your business, maybe. Or worse. Hitler speeches?
- adrusi 10y agoIf they have to opt to turn on their radio, and tune to a frequency, how is that substantially different from just using their cell phone to read bad reviews about your business? Besides, jamming radio signals off of your own property is illegal, so this is only really relevant for ham bands.
