FAA maybe not. But FCC/FBI/DOJ investigating a crime? Sure they can. CVR is not the same kind of privileged communication as lawyer/client privilege.
Intentionally misusing the RF spectrum is an intentional crime, it's covered by federal criminal law, not the FARs.
And it doesn't matter one whit what your union contract says about it

I like having guard up so I don't go NORDO. Don't want to do paperwork or get a private tactical airshow just so some childish dooshbags can get their jollies off. And who knows, there might be an actual emergency. I have on two occasions in the course of my career heard pilots helping another pilot in distress via guard.
