During my hamming of over 50 years, the FCC has never felt it necessary to
threaten hams not to break the law, that is not until we have this new
administration coming into control.  My concern is what they will define in
the future as criminal acts.

That's because up to now it was unthinkable that licensed hams would use amateur radio in the commission of crimes. The law and the enforcement apparatus always was there, though, and was used without any publicity. We're going through violent times now and it's sad that such a notice had to be issued. Violators can't say that they weren't warned.
