There's no need for speculation -- the individual in question is not only a licensed amateur radio operator, but holds additional licenses for commercial microwave links. They are well aware of the rules, and chose to violate them, repeatedly, after being instructed not to by the very emergency response personnel they were purportedly trying to help (in fact, they were trying to manipulate the emergency response to save some of their own equipment). It's baffling to me how many people here are defending them. This is about as clear-cut as it gets.
