Hams are self policing and if you cause issues and aren’t using proper protocols may try to pinpoint your location

I use FRS, there's no way anyone would report me. They are not overpowered. No one listening would assume they are anything but Amazon walkie talkies.

I got them for ship to shore, which is not illegal. Also, it's not illegal to listen. Which from what I hear, is nothing.
