Not satisfied with just outlawing cb and ham radios which use hand-

etcetera even though all those people have MUCH LESS training in
operating a two-way radio than hams do.

such as almost none, if not none, although it is usually none.

even low-class redneck cbers know more about how to properly use a
radio then those people do.

yet the only ones allowed to use it are the ones with little or no
training while the ones not allowed to use it ae the ones with the
proper training in how to use it.

If the police had the proper training, then they would not be
arresting people under phony radio laws which they claim is the
actual law.

so that alone is proof the police do not have the proper training in
howw to properly use a two-way radio since they do not even know the
radio laws that they are trying to enforce, and therefore should also
be prohibited from using a two-way mobile radio if the cbers and
hams, which have the actual training as it is required to get their
ham raadio license also are not allowed to operate their two-way
radios mobile.

Not quite.
The Ontario law is requiring users of various devices to be "hands
free" by 2012.
Basically, no mic in the hand.

It is not all of Canada, just Ontario.

Another dumb, unenforceable liberal law. How can they possible know whether
you are using a hands free transceiver or not? You are driving along with
both hands on the wheel and talking..... For all they know you are talking
to a passenger, or singing along with the music on your car radio. And why
would it be any more dangerous than doing either one of those two things?
