Illegally sold online are RF jammers

In an investigative report by NBC News, it has been revealed that online retailers and drone technology companies are marketing radio frequency jammers as tools to deter drones or ensure privacy. This approach allows them to bypass the legal barriers that prohibit the sale of such devices in the United States.
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has released a warning concerning signal jamming devices, cautioning against their use due to the potential risks they pose. These devices can impede emergency calls, jeopardize public safety communications, and interfere with other forms of communication as well as air navigation systems.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made it clear that using a phone blocker, gps blocker, or any other signal jamming device to deliberately block, jam, or disrupt authorized radio communications is a federal offense. There are no exceptions for using such devices in a business, classroom, home, or vehicle. Local law enforcement agencies lack the autonomy to utilize jamming equipment; only federal law enforcement agencies are allowed to do so in specific cases in accordance with relevant statutes.
The FCC warning explicitly prohibits the advertising, selling, distributing, importing, or marketing of jamming devices to consumers in the United States.
Amazon third-party sellers, separate online stores based in China, and small domestic companies specializing in drone-related equipment have been reported by NBC to be disregarding this law. The FCC has informed NBC that they are currently investigating the sale of jammers, including those being sold on Amazon.
In the course of its investigation, NBC interviewed the CEO of a US company offering a portable anti-drone RF jamming unit for sale online. The CEO informed NBC that these devices were accessible to consumers with financial resources, although the primary interest came from major corporations and government agencies looking to protect themselves against potential domestic drone threats.
WiFi jammers sold by online retailers
My decision to use a wired security camera stems from the fact that wifi jammer are available for purchase on Amazon. While I support this rationale, it is worth mentioning that the FCC does not approve of such devices.
Maverick Drone Systems, a Minnesota-based company, is selling a portable anti-drone "RF jamming unit" for $2,999 on its website, with Tatusky, a company based in China, listed as the supplier. The jamming unit, resembling a shotgun to some extent, is described as "easy to use" and has a range of 1-2 kilometers, as indicated in the listing. Maverick CEO Adam Shaw stated in a phone interview, "Anyone could purchase one of these tomorrow."
Nevertheless, Maverick is not operating in isolation. According to NBC News, nine independent sellers on Amazon have recently made available "jammer" devices for purchase, with prices starting at $25.63. The product descriptions indicate that these devices can disrupt microphones among other uses.
Pay attention to the technique employed in flipping a playing card, displaying "$3k quasi-military hardware here" on one side and "$30 wifi jammer on Amazon" on the other. It is essential to realize that both of these items are illegal, regardless of the significant contrast in their prices.
