Radio users reminded not to use radios in crimes

100% agree with this comment.

Why the warning from the FCC, who knows. I was always told ignorance of the law is no excuse.

It must be cheaper to issue a warning rather than expend resources to prosecute the people involved.

The warning is probably directed more at politicians or civilians making complaints than the lawbreakers. It gives the agency something to point to when they get inquiries or complaints.

Wait, am I reading that right?

Is it literally making pleading ignorance an option?

There's lots of issues regarding burden of proof. I doubt the FCC has enough evidence to identify these people, much less enough to arrest or convict them.
