    You are also not allowed to fly a drone over people, or use a frs radio over one watt...nobody enforces any of these laws.

    No you have just not heard about the guy at the beach that got charged for the Drone, because it does not make a evening news and you don't live next door. People get charged all the time, the just don't publish the people names in the local papers.
    Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

    It seems like all the Ontario guys use Alphas and Astros.
    In Alberta many use Sportdog Tek, they are scared of the Alpha out there, no one has much experience with it. Doesn't matter what you say, they won't believe you.

    Got a guy who flies his drone over my farm.
    Been thinking of ways to get it gone.
    Hmmmm...maybe Snow can teach me a way to "scramble" his frequency so the drone takes a nose dive into my pond.
    ....prolly gonna be a drone war around here in the spring!
    No you can't just shoot them...
    But take your pick...

    What did they get charged with and by whom?

    Who would charge you for using a Garmin Astro and with what? Regulatory laws rarely equal "charges".

    Industry Canada would charge you... The charges would be something like:

    1) Operating a Non-type Approved Transmitter
    ( Since Garmin has never gotten Certifcation from Industry Canada for the Collars)
    ( Maybe 1 count for each collar and handheld you have. 1 collars, 1 handheld = 2 charges)

    2) Operating without a license for the band
    ( Since you don't have a license for the band, and Garmin has NOT licensed it in Canada)

    3) Causing willful interference to LICENSED uses of the Band.
    ( Can you prove you did not? Just asking some guy at the fire Department proves nothing)

    Definitions:
    BAND. A group or block of Frequencies or Channels Assign to a Radio Service or Type Of Equipment which transmit on Radio Frequencies.

    Not the exact wording but a good reads Digest definition.

    i believe the regulatory law which is the topic of this thread is meant for and would be directed at is for the manufacturer (Garmin) or a potential seller of the product (Cabelas or Bass Pro). I don't think anyone would care if you used them here. You might get burned at the border if a very thorough guard did some on the spot research and decided to detain the unit from being brought into Canada, but I would bet they would be more interested in your booze and tobacco. As far as anyone in Industry Canada taking the time to go through their legal dept to swear out an information and take you to federal court over a dog collar, I think the chances of that happening are about as remote as someone arresting you for copying a protected VHS movie.

    Do you understand what Industry Canada is? You believe that you would not be charged for breaking the law?

    Why don't you allow yourself to be a test case..? Tell how that goes.
