Ah but technically it's still illegal to disrupt emergency services and also leaves you liable to lawsuits.

But yeah, the FCC in particular can't stop you from doing that.

Ahh, but you can subscribe to my private emergency services on my own frequencies which aren't blocked, then nobody can block mine because they are the only available emergency service frequency.

The word used is "Disrupt" which implies you cannot impede access to them even if you offer an alternative method.

Call the cops then, oh wait.

Sure they will!

They'd be more than happy to fine you 10k for that.

I'm not completely clear on what happens if you don't pay though....
