Baofeng UV-5R is way too old in 2023. Its chipset is read-only. You are stuck with a old fixed firmware, with all bugs there. Within the same $30 price range, Baofeng UV-5R is the worst choice. There are many faked Baofeng UV-5R in the market.
TYT TH-UV88, or Retevis RT85 is a better radio. And you can upgrade its firmware. And many batteries with USB-C ports fit it, e.g. BAOFENG GM-15, BL-13UV, Explorer QRZ-1, Radioddity GM-30. might be the same under different brands.
QUANSHENG UV-K5 is another better choice, and ppl have opened that firmware, and built many better versions, make it a nice receiver. UV-K5 has a USB-C charging port.
Anyway, a ham license will cost $50, $15 for the test, and $35 fee to FCC. And you have to learn for it.
this is a scammer selling counterfeit Baofeng

The only way you would get caught driving without a license is if you are stopped for another driving violation. You could drive for years every day without a driver's license and never get caught. I doubt you could transmit constantly on Ham bands and not run into problems.
You can check the differences in penalties for driving without a license versus transmitting on radio bands without a license. Big difference.

How about microwaves, e-bikes, nail guns, drills and so on and so forth, perhaps we should license everything we own with the state?
