Florida man brought his own cell phone jammer to work, hibernated for 2 years and finally caught
No one likes to encounter inattentive drivers on the road, especially those who are talking on the phone, playing games, and texting while driving. However, a Florida man named Jason Humphreys has taken it a step further - carrying a high-powered cell phone jammer in his car and has been a "volunteer" for 2 years.
For Humphreys, this has become a habit during his workday (Interstate 4) - the goal is to prevent nearby drivers from calling or texting while driving.
Obviously, this starting point is good, but the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) angrily pointed out that it may prevent some people from calling 911 in an emergency.
And in the United States, illegal use of cell phone jammers also requires heavy penalties! It is reported that Humphrey will now face a fine of up to $48,000.
And it was not Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, the three major operators, who discovered this, but MetroPCS. The company noticed that at certain times of the day, there were always "signal deaths" on Interstate 4.
Ultimately, the FCC used a method called "complex interference detection technology" to lock on Humphrey and the Toyota Highlander he was driving.
