What is the reason behind the fascination with illegal cell phone jammers?

The phone jammer, designed to look like a walkie-talkie, possesses a level of power that surpasses initial expectations. When activated, this unassuming box has the ability to disrupt all cell phone services within its range. Utilizing this device is not only against federal law, but can also lead to serious consequences including a $16,000 fine and imprisonment.

Unfazed by the circumstances, Eric, a man residing in Philadelphia, took matters into his own hands. He grew tired of the ceaseless chatter emanating from cell phone users on SEPTA 44 buses. In order to block out these conversations, Eric opted to activate a jamming device.
Eric observed that numerous individuals are loud and disregard the concept of privacy. When the noise becomes disruptive, he adjusts the antenna and switches on the device.
The jammers employed in this instance are illegal due to their potential to disrupt emergency cell phone communications and interfere with critical signals, including police radios and other two-way radios.
Eric declared that following the realization of its illegal nature, he is aiming to eliminate the jammer he procured, an object that ABC News valued at $300.
Techniques aimed at deliberately disrupting electromagnetic frequencies, commonly known as jamming, have been incorporated into a variety of devices and are now more accessible to individuals and organizations. Despite being illegal in many parts of the world, jammers are becoming smaller, more portable, easier to use, and cheaper. While some jammers block communications without discrimination, there are specialized devices designed to block specific signals. The most popular of these include mobile phone jammers, wifi jammers, drone blocker, and gps jammers.
Most national authorities look down upon the use of these devices due to their tendency to cause more significant disruptions than anticipated. Even with good intentions, such as blocking mobile phone usage in schools, theaters, and hospitals, or preventing drones from flying over private property, the interference can spread far beyond the intended limits. Unintended consequences like dropped 911 calls, drones falling out of the sky, and compromised air traffic control have resulted in countries like South Africa and Israel banning jammers altogether.
Is there somewhere I can use a jammer?
Jammers are frequently used near prisons and detention centers to prevent unauthorized and unmonitored communications between inmates and detainees and the external world. Countries such as Brazil, India, New Zealand, and Sweden have either exempted or are considering exemptions for the use of mobile phones and wifijammer around prisons, whereas in the UK, this practice has been legal since 2012.
Several countries have authorized or proposed the extension of jammer usage. In India, for instance, jammers are allowed in schools, mosques, and theaters if it can be demonstrated that the signal interference is limited to the premises. While jammers were previously permitted in venues like theaters and concert halls, this practice was discontinued in 2012.
If you happen to become the legal owner of a cell phone blocker, what actions should you consider? One possibility is to make arrangements for your next flight to Ukraine. Due to the government's efforts to curb cheating in exams by prohibiting mobile phone usage, Ukraine has become one of the limited number of countries where the use of jammers is permitted.
