If the FCC finds that you have violated an FCC regulation, they are well
and truly capable of bringing in the FBI and State or Local law =
enforcement
to enforce their regulation. All three of those entities have guns. To =
do so,
the FCC does not need a court order.
ARIN cannot get the FBI, State, or Local law enforcement to enforce
ARIN policy unless that policy is further backed by a court order.
(Of course, at that point, they are acting under the force of a =
regulator
in the form of the court more than under ARIN).
