there was a story a while back about someone being caught with a signal jammer in his van, because he was sick of people being on the phone while driving

Surely this would cause things to be worse as everyone in proximity to this van would start looking down at their phones to figure out why they stopped working

yeah this was pointed out when this was first posted as well. I thought it was on here, but maybe it was reddit.

I think this is the story: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/man-put-cell-phone-jamme...

And when that van is in an accident, people can't call 911 or other emergency numbers anymore.

I hope the van driver received a prize. He certainly has my admiration.
