They can't take their radios away, take-down their antennas, or pin their coax. The FCC also prefers to collect its own evidence for enforcement actions...which means that their wheels turn EXTREMELY slowly.

So, anybody can buy equipment, although most ethical sellers i.e. HRO require that a call sign be given when an order is placed and the call sign needs to match the delivery address for the equipment.  However, the FCC is quite vigilent in spectrum abuse enforcement.‎ So, whether a person is licensed and abusing license privileges or is unlicensed and needs to be stopped from committing the disruptive behavior.
