You really should read 47CFR§8. It won't take you more than an hour or so, as it's only about 8 pages.
The bigger picture is (a) HOW they got this authority--self-defining it in, and (b) the potential abuse and 4th amendment violations, not just today's "foot in the door" details! Today's altruistic intentions... is a DIFFERENT ISSUE (though still important.. and I find much of their wording very open-ended... lots of "reasonables" in there.. and lots of possible protections or legal things that are EXTREMELY abusive... yet still universally considered legal!) To use an extreme example, if a democratically elected chief executive of a republic self-appointed himself a dictator-for-life, and stated that he would use those powers to imprison those who engage in human trafficking... would you really cheerleader him for fighting human trafficking and call his new authority a good thing? In the same way, I don't like the BASIS for this authority... and what it potentially means in the long term... besides what they state that they intend to do with this new authority they've appointed themselves in the short term. -- Rob McEwen +1 478-475-9032
