What would happen if I use a USA (GMRS/FRS) two-way radio in Europe?
This question is the opposite from this one: What would the consequences of using a US two-way radio (GMRS/FRS) in Europe? I know Europe has their own frequency range for two-way radios (PMR), but for the moment let's remove buying new radios from the list.
Does anyone else use the same frequencies (does the radio channel matter)? Would I be able to hear official chatter?
If I were to broadcast, who (besides my intended receiver) would hear me, and would they come looking for me? Would I risk interfering with anything?

Personal radio devices in Europe use a different frequency (446 Mhz). According to a quick google search the frequency range of GMRS/FRS (462-467 Mhz) is used by fire brigades in UK, police in Russia and licensed radio amateurs in Germany... blocking frequencies of police or fire brigades will certainly cause you trouble here.
