Most of the violations depend on the slowness of the investigation and the ability to hide (mask) their call. If the infrastructure of the phone system supported another three digit quick number, then as citizens experience robo calls, they simply dial this number (example *11) at the end of the call. The phone system can then crowd source complaints in real-time to automatically block these numbers at the network level after some statistical threshold is reached.
This means that a valid vender would have to go to some review process to unblock their number and violators would have to quickly move numbers. Callers/venders can still mask their number and consumers no longer need spend time to file a lengthy compliant.
A single citizen filing a complaint would not automatically trigger a lock down of a venders call.
There would have to be some liability to the consumers if they abuse this service, but it is predicated on first receiving a call from the vender. Thus no social attack designed to block a real corporation is easy.
