If this person had not continuously operated the jammer along the same route, at the same time every day for years, they probably wouldn't have ever been caught

That being said, I can't count the number of times I've passed someone who's going dangerously slow and drifting in their lane, only to see them staring down at their phone. If Humphreys only ran the device for about 30 seconds whenever he saw someone on their phone, he'd probably have gotten away with it for a lot longer.
- ranger_danger 9mo agoI would also be highly skeptical that the jammer would actually prevent someone in the moment from ceasing to look down at their phone anymore, since 1. most phone operations aren't so heavily dependent on an active internet connection e.g. messages will come in whenever they come in, and 2. having no connection could actually cause them to look even more at the phone, to try to figure out why it's not working or retry whatever they're doing.
