Possession of a signal jammer is a felony.

If you're in a high speed police chase, I have to imagine you've already racked up a few of those

If only it were possible to instantly acquire a jammer on demand right at the beginning of a police chase.

If you have one that's turned off, it's going to be quite hard for them to find out you have it...

That's what I was thinking as well. If this sort of thing becomes commonplace, you would just take a jammer or scrambler with you and turn it on after you see them give up the chase.

It wouldn't be for your run-of-the-mill stupid criminal, but for the ones who think ahead.
