The Reel Life: Spam calls edition19 April 2018In American criminal justice circles, it's common to talk about crimes by dividing them into violent and nonviolent, usually with the implication that nonviolent crimes are less bad and don't warrant the same sort of responses as violent crimes. But let's face it: There are some kinds of nonviolent crimes that we'd all rather get punched in the face than be subjected to, and there's some kinds of nonviolent criminals that we'd love to see law enforcement come down like a bag of hammers on. Today's nonviolent criminal hails from (as usual) Florida, where he has been accused of illegally making 97 million robocalls. NINETY-SEVEN MILLION. Our blood pressure is going through the roof just thinking about it. Adrian Abramovich of Miami is currently facing a $120 million fine from the Federal Communications Commission, which he has asked to be reduced on the grounds that it's excessive, even though that only comes out to, what, $1.25 a call? Abramovich is basically claiming "no harm, no foul," because most of the people he called either didn't pick up or hung up on him immediately. Of course they did, dude, because getting spam calls is annoying. That's why the good people of the US of A harangued their electeds into creating the Do Not Call registry all the way back in 2003. Some people have no respect for boundaries. Bloomberg's reporting on this subject doesn’t go into the details of the robocalling scheme enough for us to figure out where the "Abramovich makes money" part of it comes in, but we can only assume there is one. Otherwise he was just annoying all his neighbors for fun, which doesn't bear thinking about. Anyway, the morals of the story here are that the FCC doesn't go nearly hard enough on robocallers, Abramovich has got some freakin' nerve, and getting spam calls distresses us so much that we would throw our phone away if we didn't need it for playing mobile slots.
