FCC Formalizes Massive Fines For Selling, Using Cell-Phone Jammers (networkworld.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Network World: Two years ago the FCC announced its intention to fine a Chinese electronics maker $34.9 million and a Florida man $48,000 for respectively selling and using illegal cell-phone jammers. Today the agency has issued press releases telling us that those fines have finally been made official, without either of the offending parties having bothered to mount a formal defense of their actions. From the press release announcing the fine against CTS. Technology: "[...] The company's website falsely claimed that some jammers had been approved by the FCC, and advertised that the company could ship signal jammers to consumers in the United States." The company did not respond to the FCC's allegations, although the agency does report that changes were made to its website that appear to be aimed at complying with U.S. law. Next up is Florida man, Jason R. Humphreys, who is alleged to have used a jammer on his commute: "Mr. Humphreys' illegal operation of the jammer continued for up to two years, caused interference to cellular service along Interstate 4, and disrupted police communications." Last Fall, a Chicagoan was arrested for using a cell-phone jammer to make his subway commute more tolerable.
Do they start fining Law enforcement?
Oh wait, the law doesn't apply to them...
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
prevent the call to a lawyer? They want to prevent you from detonating your terrorist bomb. you damn dirty terrorist.
Sorry, but cops should be stripped of armor and not allowed to carry a gun, it would force them to start acting like human beings instead of fucking stormtrooper goons.

Oh, right, because Sanders wouldn't DREAM of using the executive branch to enforce his own policy vision - he'll just let congress do as they will. Yup. Other than, of course, all of the crap he's promising that congress will never do, which means he's either lying, or planning on acting just like Obama in that regard.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
