    All true, but there’re fairly inexpensive radios on AliExpress and the like that do transmit as well.

    It’s technically illegal, at least on my neck of the woods, to transmit on reserved frequencies, but one could.

      Nothing stopping the transmitter from being attached to a cheap battery and left under the dumpster of a nearby restaurant.

      Sure, they can find it, but it takes resources away from harassing civilians.

      Someone smarter than me could probably design, or link an existing design, to a cheap assembly that broadcast static and made comms harder for these thugs.
