Re: [WISPA] Malicious damage to a tower
Two solar panels were stolen from one of my towers two years ago and the police only wanted to take a report, when I reminded them that this was a public communications facility and thereby a federal offense, they said I don't think the Internet is a public broadcast facility but 'drove by' anyway. Never got a good answer and was never contacted by feds so my guess is no, but its just a guess.

It would be different story if YOU damaged some Cop's antenna. You would be eating TV dinners in an orange jump suit for a long time.

Re: [WISPA] Malicious damage to a tower
The feds will allow the local authorities to pursue on state charges. The crust of it is, they feds are just too busy to pursue. Their emphasis, passed down from DC, leaves little room to worry about someone vandalizing a tower site. The good thing? Normally the locals will do you a better job. We have a boy just sentanced to 7 years, yes SEVEN YEARS in prison on state charges for breaking into one of our sites. Plus they tazed the guy. You can go to the US attorneys office, and they can make the feds do something, but the power is still with the locals, and YOUR good relationship with them. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
