Radar Jammers Are Illegal
Stiff Penalties for Radar Jammers Users
Banned in 1997
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) banned the sale and use of radar jammers in December of 1997.
At the time an FCC spokesman said “the action sends a clear message to all manufactures that the FCC will strictly enforce its rules to prevent harmful interference to police radar“.
If You Are Caught – It’s Gonna’ Cost Ya’!
This law covers both active and passive radar jammers.
If the FCC finds that you willfully and repeatedly interfere with radio signals by using a radar jammer, you could pay as much as $11,000 for each violation (up to a total of $75,000) and/or you could be sent to jail.
Both manufacturers and jammer owners are culpable.
