his jammer would, of course, do the equivalent of turning off my phone
without my knowledge. considering that my customers are running E911
services, if i can't help them, his jammer would cause
police/fire/ambulance departments not be able to dispatch for calls, or at
least being delayed when they have to fall back to paper/pencil dispatch
systems.


Of course, there would be NO land lines for people to call 911 for an
emergency in church or in a restaurant, right? Cell phones would be the
only form of communication. We're talking about zapping a boob who's being
a boob. We're talking about momentarily interrupting service. We're not
talking about a long term blockage. Apparently you don't know how these
things work. Just as long as you hold the button is as long as they work.
It's not as if one sets it to block for hours.

Do the math, genius.

And heaven forbid dispatch has to do a little work, and not rely on a GPS
signal from a cell phone which may be erroneous. What if a witness from
across the river calls it in? Or a witness in a high rise? Seems to me
that they would like to have the location of the ACTUAL emergency, and not
the witnesses.

HTH, but I doubt it.
