Brandon,

Fun movies notwithstanding, they generally issue a fine and work it
through the civil courts.

If you were doing something extraordinary, like jamming emergency
communications, I expect they might well call the police for
assistance. But those are police, not FCC agents, and they're acting
as much on behalf of the folks whose signals you're jamming as they
are on behalf of the FCC. You'll find that any of us (including ARIN)
can summon police for assistance with assaults upon us.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
