Recently a friend of mine was arrested for communications harrassment via CB radio. Supposedly he was mouthing off to a couple of people who were also on the same channel that he was. They contended that they knew for a fact it was him, and that he was using abusive, foul and indesent language to them on the radio. They proceeded to file charges, had a warrent sworn out, and the police picked him up.

I have been on the CB radio for 30 + yrs and never ever heard of anyone being arrested for this childish behavior. Furthermore, without a witness actually seeing him do it, like microphone to mouth, or an FCC probe sent out, how can this be proved? There are so many people that use the CB radio in the same manner at any given time.

He was arrested 3 times, by two different counties, by the same complaintant. The first court date ended in a dismissed case for lack of evidence, the second is going to jury trial. I guess this county prosicutor has a light load on his pallet.

Nevertheless, this friend is being setup by the compaintants in my opinion.

Does anyone know, or ever heard of this kind of trial? I searched the net for 2 months and found nothing at all.

Any insight is appreciated !
