If you suspect cell jamming, and you're in the USA, contact the FCC and report the business. The mere fact that it interferes with 911 is enough to send a store manager to prison. If they can prove that an emergency vehicle every got close enough to the business to be potentially affected, the business could see hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
The FCC could just park a van in front of the store for 3 minutes and their tools would verify that a jammer was in use.
Here's the details on anti-jamming laws, and a list of people who have had their ass handed to them by the FCC for doing it: https://www.fcc.gov/general/jammer-enforcement https://www.fcc.gov/general/jammer-enforcement
- sixdimensional 9y agoGood to know this. I don't think it's outright cell jamming but something where voice service is still passable but data service basically cannot function due to packet loss, etc. Would be interesting to try to detect if such interference is present on the right frequencies, or if it is just a natural effect and truly not intentional. Thanks for sharing the info.
