I like the idea of a fine for calling 911 based on how often it happens
around here with kids playing with the phone and stuff but not for first
offence, I think they should have the same laws and fines with that as they
do with burglar alarms going off too much around here for no reason.

if you use a ham radio that hasn't been modified to transmit on =
government
frequencies, you will have absolutely no worry of jamming or causing
interpherence to government frequencies.
The band plans in the United states insure large band separations =
between
amateur radio frequencies and government used frequencies...except for =
the
420MHZ area, but then again, most amateur traffic on UHF is far far =
above
420.

Its pretty sad when a city has to start charging people for accidentally
dialing 911 when offten it happens so easily...especially when it was an
honest mistake...suppose one could fight that in court unless its some =
sort
of unfightable by-law that the city has implemented to discourage people
from calling 911 for a prank.

The person you refer to that was jamming government frequencies, =
probably
the one in california was doing it on purpose and refused to stop =
jamming
until they put him in jail away from radio equipment.
If you follow  the regulations, and the laws, you will have absolutely =
no
worries.  They are not all that restrictive either and its fairly =
difficult
to accidentally break the law or break one of the regulations unless you
really are trying to.
good luck on your studies.
