They are legal,just power limited.Most 100foot radius.

I think that it would be kinda nice to have one of those mobile units that you mount in the car. Would be great when you are stuck behind some idiot that is more interested in their phone conversation, than they are in driving.

I think your right.I hear all kinds of stuff about em,most searches says illegal in U.S.A.. " In the U.S. the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) makes certain frequencies available to broadcasters for public use. When an end-user pays to use that spectrum, jamming the signal is paramount to 'property theft.' The FCC is also concerned about potential "leakage" — of jammers interfering with frequencies outside the range of cell phones, like garage door openers or medical equipment; and it's worth noting that over 100,000 emergency calls are made each day from cell phones. Anyone caught manufacturing, selling, owning, or using a jammer in the U.S. is punishable by an $11,000 fine and up to a year in prison for each offense.

But the stiff penalty hasn't stopped proliferation of the devices, perhaps" I found this,any one find anything that says they are leagal??You can buy em anywhere online.

I believe there are some exceptions with regard to your home and by extension inside your car. That's why the over the radio adapters are legal in your car. You are essentially creating your own mini radio station inside your car. I don't know if they have to be limited by power or by effectivity radius, but they are very low power devices. These jammer appear to be very high power in comparison so they most certainly are illegal.

I can see a driver in traffic who is somewhat distracted by their cell phone conversation having their signal get jammed and their call dropped. At that point they would become totally distracted while trying to figure out what happened, cause an accident, and hurt or kill someone. Who's fault would this be? Arguably this was caused by the individual using the jammer, because the accident wouldn't have occured if the jammer wasn't used. Just something to think about...
