Italian universities use jammers to prevent students from cheating
In most countries / regions, it is illegal for private individuals to interfere with cell phone transmissions, but some countries / regions allow businesses and government organizations to install jammers in areas where people consider it to be. use of the cell phone as a public emergency. In December 2004, France approved the legalization of portable jammer used for performances in cinemas, concert halls and other venues. France is finalizing the technology to enable emergency service calls. India has installed jammers in parliaments and some prisons. According to reports, Italian universities have adopted the technology to prevent cheating. Students take photos of the test with their camera phones and send them to their classmates.
In the US, UK, Australia, and many other countries, it is illegal to ban cell phone service (and other electronic transmission). In the United States, interference from cell phones is protected by the Communications Act of 1934, which prohibits people "from interfering intentionally or maliciously with the radio communications of any authorized or licensed radio station." In fact, "it is also prohibited to manufacture, import, sell or sell advertisements, including advertisements, aimed at blocking or blocking wireless transmission devices."
Interference is considered theft of property because a private company has purchased the rights to the radio spectrum, and interfering with the spectrum is similar to theft of property purchased by the company. It is also a safety hazard, as interference can block all calls in the area, not just annoying calls. Interfering signals can prevent the babysitter from frantically trying to contact the parent or the person trying the ambulance.
The Federal Communications Commission is responsible for enforcing interference laws. However, the agency did not prosecute anyone for interference with cell phones. According to US regulations, the maximum fine for a first offense can be up to $ 11,000 per offense or imprisonment for one year, and the equipment used can also be confiscated and confiscated from the government.
With phones ringing in movies, weddings, and classrooms, it's no wonder people want to minimize the invasion. So what can be done legally to stop boring mobile phone use?
