While I was going to trade school I had a class called specialize controls. My teacher showed us his cell phone jammer that he use when students would txt in class.

 

perfectly legal in all states

 

im not a lawyer, but i would say the device is not illegal, it's how you use it that could be illegal. . . i know a pharmaceutical company near my home that has one so the employees can't call out info on da drugzz.

 

Why you say that?

I am thinking about picking one up.

 

I thought they were illegal

 

He would tell the student to quit txt in class. If they refuse to quit txt he pull the phone jammer out.

 

THAT IS A GOOD idea--wonder what range --I am going to get a DOZEN
20 meters--60 feet--WOW

 

yeah see that's how i think it would be ok. at school and at work you give up a lot of your rights. your boss can put a gps on your car and legally doesn't have to tell you. if you're on the clock/in school and they don't want you on your phone than they can stop it. . . . . now if OP gets this and sits outside a police station trying to screw with some coppers i imagine he'll find out it is indeed illegal somehow.

edit: and before someone gets their pannies in a wad, by boss putting a gps on "your car" i was referring to like a company car.

 

I would probably use it when I see people on their phone txt or talking while driving on the roads. lol

 

It's a phone jammer foolio. lol

 

now we are getting somewhere. the question behind your question is actually "do you have the legal right to obstruct someone from using their cell phone without permission at any time?"

probably illegal. just trying to think of the actual charge that could be pressed.

 

My friend was talking to me about a device that could turn a stop light from red to green. lol He wouldn't tell me where to buy them though.

 

Are they for sale? Yes. there ya go

 

You going to buy one? lol

 

bought 5, my whole area is going to be a giant blackout zone

 

off a fire engine or ambulance lol

 

Yeah off a fire engine or ambulance smart ass. lol

 

I wish the movie theaters would have a system like this.
