Charges for fraud (in the case of false data) and disruption to electrical service at the state level, and charges for unauthorized radio interference at the federal level.
- netr0ute 5y agoThis is the worst case scenario.
- ARandomerDude 5y agoBut a realistic one, especially if it became common enough to want to crack down and make examples.
- bluGill 5y agoAlso not a very hard thing to investigate and track down for someone who is interested. I think a good portion of the readers here can design the equipment to do that.
- reaperducer 5y agoThis is the worst case scenario. Worst case scenario isn't as far away as you might think. Consider that the FCC is pretty good at winning the cat-and-mouse game against pirate radio broadcasters. And those are people who can change their locations at will. How long do you think it would take to go from the power company noticing an anomaly to someone walking down the street with equipment to detect the source? A week, maybe? There's money at stake, and these aren't stupid people.
- netr0ute 5y agoThere can't be any power anomaly if you use self-hosted energy like solar panels, so that part's out.
