@CTLAWYER – Like most attorneys, is an ignoramus. Clearly, you don’t know the FCC laws and the legality of confiscating a radio that is 100% without question interfering with life saving. I am a Hatzolah member, and I heard this going on (I am in the Woodridge area), and you are a fool for even questioning the legality of what was done. You are a royal tipish.
Do you have a child?
Let’s say you DO. You’re child gets into a swimming pool chas vesholom. Hatzolah is called. The first member arrives and is screaming for a chopper forthwith, or giving “seconds-matter” live updates to the responding medics, and your OTHER stupid son is playing with a radio he bought in a store, and has Hatzolah frequency and is preventing the members on the scene from saving your OTHER son’s life.
You are a FOOL.
PS: The children were also interfering with the Fallsburg Police radio system, Sullivan County Sheriff, NY State Police and the Sullivan County FD. They are all well aware that these radios were confiscated.
Only a slip-and-fall idiot attorney can play games on a story like this. get a life.
