A Florida man is facing a $48,000 fine for using a "jammer" in his SUV to keep people around him off of the phone while he was driving.
The Federal Communications Commission says that Jason R. Humphreys used a phone jammer in his vehicle during his daily commute on I-4 between Seffner and Tampa for about two years before he was caught.
Metro PCS alerted the Feds of an issue in April of 2013. The company noticed that its cell phone tower sites had been experiencing interference during the morning and evening commutes.
Agents from the FCC used direction finding techniques to find that strong wideband emissions were coming out of a blue Toyota Highlander SUV driven by Humphreys.
The FCC says that Hunphreys admitted to using the jammer to keep people from talking on their phones while driving.

Anybody know how much these cost? Sounds like fun if used sparingly.

As much as other cell phone users are annoying, it's really not your business.
The guy in the next car over could be dealing with a family emergency.

I think the key is random rather than rote usage pattern.

My brother has one, ordered it from one of those china drop shippers. Didn’t seem like he spent a lot. $50 at most. Says it works great and his daily commute is much safer.

If the guy in the next car over is dealing with a family emergency he needs to be pulled-over on the side of the road while he’s on the phone.

My electrician drives by the house occasionally and says hello via his CB on hyper power. He can speak through my stereo speakers when the thing isn’t even on!

No, but spark-gap devices are pretty cheap. Don't know if they affect the latest technology, though.
I knew a guy that bought a device to set off radar detectors. He said if he'd see a guy next to him on the highway with one, he'd occasionally use it.
I suggested that it could be dangerous to any cars following the guy with the detector.
To: Mears
Illegal.
Name something that isn't, in one jurisdiction or another. Have you noticed a pattern lately?

they use these in Afghanistan to prevent road side bombings from cell phone detonators
