If you do it to me I want you to share half my subscription fee. We 
all know those transmitter problems have been solved and it's 
absolutely impossible to do what you describe. I still have some 
bridges for sale. If you buy one. I'll forego prosecuting you for 
theft of service, tailgating, stalking if you're driving alongside 
and using a cell phone without a hands-free device if we'rein a state 
that requires it. Or, like the cops do, accuse you of some unrelated 
crime that you're probably guilty of, anyway.
