I can't say about Mass. but it is NOT legal anywhere in the US to
transmitt where you are not licensed to.  If he is making a nusience of
himself ,especially to the police, he could be in for a big fine if
caught.
There are several companies making ham radio transceivers that by
cutting a wire inside or other minor modifications that will do this.
It is not illegal to do this, but it is not legal to transmitt where you
are not licensed.  There are several frequencies near the ham bands that
it is legal to transmitt with the proper license and that is one reason
for the easy modificiation.
