CB harassment

CB harassment proven.

A man who broadcast a woman's address and phone number over CB radio as a place of ill-repute, has been ordered by Queensland's Civil and Administrative Tribunal to pay her compensation.

After the man's antics on a CB repeater, truck drivers began arriving at the Queensland property or called the woman aged in her sixties.

The Queensland Tribunal found that that the sexually harassment and racial vilification over CB radio had occurred since 2008.

It ordered the defendant to pay the woman $10,000 in compensation.

The man also put pictures on YouTube. In an earlier court case he was ordered to remove the offending YouTube material, keep the peace towards the woman and put on a good behaviour bond.

This article was written by Jim Linton VK3PC...

It would sure clean up the airwaves over here if the Authorities took a simular approach to the CB band and the antics of a small minority of people who drag the CB band down...

Very interesting,
Of course, to have some sort of control over CB radio here, they would have to go back to licensing and have 'rules' of operation in order for somebody to be punished for breaching those rules.
I would like to see it happen, but I doubt it will, CB is a dwindling hobby in the eyes of the authorities.

The WT (Content of Transmission) Regulations 1988 make it an offence to use any
station for wireless telegraphy or any wireless telegraphy apparatus to send a
message, communication or other matter in whatever form that is grossly offensive or
of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.


It would seem though that the small minority think that the CB band is a anything goes place to do what they like, True there is no licence requirement anymore, But the rules and regs still apply...

Good point Mark,
I know what your saying, and in theory people should still go by the guidelines, but in reality I don't think ofcom have any interest in CB unless somebody was causing interference, not sure they would monitor for abuse / harrassment although it would be comforting to know they would.

Its allways the minority that spoils radio for the majority, theres been a spate of abuse towards good radio ops, playing music abuse..threats etc, i just try and ignore them..if they think they are getting to you more they do it ...ive got a :censor: near me with power all he does is play music , mike key with the roger bleep on or swear at you in a disguised voice, he will come a cropper one day and be in a situation when he needs someone in a hurry and get abused him self, if its prolonged i just switch off.. :@

I cannot help but wonder what the poor woman did to initially pizz the Queensland CBer off? There has GOT to be a good story there somewhere. . . . maybe she IS a hooker and refused him (even hooker have minimum Standards), or perhaps she's his ex-wife. Possibly he met her in a bar, tried to Chat her up and got turned down, or maybe she is just a decent Radio Op and gave him an earful for Swearing, Dead-keying and DJ antics on the Air. We will never know.

It is a shame that since the licence requirement lapsed the Authorities don't seem to give a damn about ANYTHING on CB. I've heard foul language, abuse, threats, fencing of stolen goods, bragging about benefit fraud as well as the inevitable Muppet Keying, Music, and Silly Noises.
I suppose it is just easier to target people like motorists doing 35 mph because they have us by the short-n-curlies, and a situation comparable to CB might be cyclists[1]. The Authorities seem totally uninterested in cyclits on the pavement, without lights, jumping Traffic lights, going the wrong way on one way streets simply because, again, there is no licence to threaten. And those bloody Couriers in London could be very well compared to a Kilowatt Muppet, the Worst of the Worst.





[1] Before any GOOD cyclists start jumping up and down and shouting, just like CB, it is the irresponsible that give a bad name to all

Just try calling him something Racist, THEN see how fast the police get involved. :D

It amazes me that someone can be specific and use your name, and your call-sign, and nothing happens . . . . . but if you replied with a generic nick-name for people from SOME Countries, not all, you're up in Court so fast your feet don't touch the floor. I know this is off topic, but how come "Brit" is an acceptable expression for a British Person, and "Aussie" is an acceptable expression for a Australian Person but if you apply the same logic to a native from Pakistan, you're liable to be nicked?

Steve, I think Brit and Aussie are more terms of affection, in all honesty. Also the Brit and Aussie humours are vastly different to someone fresh off the boat/plane from Pakistan and I have no recollection of the term Paki ever being used in anything other than a derogatory manner. Maybe the powers that be, believe we ought to know better and punish accordingly.

Back on topic:Link to full story.

Sounds like a real piece of work, this gentleman.
In my years on radio I have heard a lot of this type of behavior, is anyone surprised that CB radio is dying.
Cheers 73 :cheers:

I think its a benefit in some ways we are not flooded with muppets like the rise of the muppet in 1981, but like now the real decent folks got round it by buying better radios to get away from the balloon heads, even in the early days with alphas fitted it foxed them , but they got wise to that so we stepped up a gear multimode radio's were few and far between, but we got 2 from a shush ! reputable man ...cobra 148's ...bye bye muppets...move on a couple of yrs muppets now getting there hands on multimodes...move up again HF set..bye for a long time ! i wont give in to them. :pirate2:

Not that Iam racist but the clue is in there as in GINGER BEER not that I wouldn't go calling some body something behind anyone's back ! I wouldn't say anything that I wouldst say to anyone's face no matter who they are and believe me I've been arrested for calling the Kent police force a bunch of useless tossers to a traffic Sargent didn't think he liked that comeing from a truck driver lol

But the fault is with OFCOM for not giveing a hoot !!!

I do not have first hand experience of this, but I am reliably informed from someone who was there at the time---
She was an annoying pain in the rear for years. Always breaking into others conversations with dumb comments. Not actually doing any harm, but winding everyone up until something snapped.

The amount was actually $5000. The Wireless institute of Australia report was incorrect. But its still amazing.

Media report- http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/racist-cb-radio-rants-spark-payout-20110802-1i9lb.html#ixzz1TuwUnqQd

Tribunal report- http://archive.sclqld.org.au/qjudgment/2011/QCAT11-320.pdf

This makes interesting reading. Can you imagine this sort of thing getting to court in the UK?

Do they have significantly more regulation in Australia? Or is the CB service somehow more respected or something?

As for the 'pet' names for folks from different countries, surely it all depends on the context in which it is done. I had friends in uni who were from Pakistan, and they were actually proud to be referred to by friends as 'pakis' (especially if England and Pakistan were engaged in a game of cricket). In other contexts I would think they may well have been offended by the name.

I think the level or regulation is very similar. Although the Aussie authorities do take a much more active interest in radio in general.

Oh no!! Absolutely not.

We have had them here, the best bit is they then moan when there is no one about.
So they then think playin more music will give people something to listen to.
