This is not always true - FM transmitters were not legal in the UK, regardless of power, until 2011 or so. Can't imagine anyone was actually prosecuted for using one, though.

If there is no chance of getting caught anyway, there is only moral law. Since you're not disturbing anyone with an FM transmitter in your car that transmits only as far as you car radio, it passes moral law.

Interesting to learn that it wasn't legal in the UK though. I wouldn't know of the legality in the Netherlands, but I know they're in use and nobody's complaining.
