That very much depends on what, or who, you happen to be stepping upon.

Stomp over the frequencies your local police/fire/rescue departments 
are using and you may get the Ministry Of Housinz detector vans roaming 
your area.

Stomp over the frequencies used by a nearby airport for aircraft to 
tower comms and you *will* get the Ministry Of Housinz detector vans 
roaming around hunting you down.

Stomp over Verizon's cell phone tower signals, well, maybe the vans 
show up, maybe not.

Stomp all over your neighborhood 2.4Ghz WiFi free-for-all bands, yeah, 
nobody at the FCC will care one bit.
