Rest assured they do. If you look up FCC violations in urban areas you can find out that they are quite adept at triangulating violators.
"A first offense is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $10,000 fine and/or up to a year in jail. Subsequent offenses are felonies punishable by up to 2 years in prison. In practice, this might result in only a civil action by the FCC. But it is forbidden by Congress and can be punished by imprisonment."

- AnarchismIsCool 3y agoNot sure why everyone is linking me articles on the CFRs, long abandoned listening posts too far from anything to matter at all, and the few one off cases where someone did something dumb enough, long enough, that it got the FCCs attention, which is newsworthy because they usually don't pay any attention. You can fuck with RF as much as you want, as long as you A: don't do it constantly, B: don't do it in the same location every time (at home), and C: don't do it in a band belonging to someone who has their FCC field office's number on a post-it note and has paid the FCC lots of money.
- kalleboo 3y agoYeah I always recall this article http://www.arrl.org/news/view/amateur-radio-sleuthing-pins-down-source-of-strange-rf-interference http://www.arrl.org/news/view/amateur-radio-sleuthing-pins-d... The FCC told the police they didn't care, it took a bunch of HAMs running around to find the source and politely ask them to maybe fix it or at least consider turning it off if someone else complains again.
