That works until they start jamming cell service.
- Maxious 15y agoThe operation of transmitters designed to jam or block wireless communications is a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"). See 47 U.S.C. Sections 301, 302a, 333. Also LEO data terminals use commercial LTE these days.
- jeffool 15y agoPolice did it in, I believe, the Bay Area last year, fearing organization of protests
- wl 15y agoThey cut power to cell repeaters. They didn't jam anything, though they certainly got hell for it. The FCC is investigating.
- jeffool 15y agoAhhh, and I didn't know there was an investigation, thanks for that!
- simoncion 15y ago"They" in this case was the BART Directors, not the police, and this was not the first time the Directors chose to disable cell service at various stations in the system.
