    I love Florida.

    Driver caught using cell phone jamming device

    A Florida man is facing a $48,000 fine for using a "jammer" in his SUV to keep people around him off of the phone while he was driving.

    The Federal Communications Commission says that Jason R. Humphreys used a phone jammer in his vehicle during his daily commute on I-4 between Seffner and Tampa for about two years before he was caught.

    Metro PCS alerted the Feds of an issue in April of 2013. The company noticed that its cell phone tower sites had been experiencing interference during the morning and evening commutes.

    Agents from the FCC used direction finding techniques to find that strong wideband emissions were coming out of a blue Toyota Highlander SUV driven by Humphreys.

    The FCC says that Hunphreys admitted to using the jammer to keep people from talking on their phones while driving.

    Federal law prohibits the operation of jamming devices in the United States.

    The FCC says that jamming devices cannot be authorized because they can compromise the integrity of the nation's communications infrastructure, including 911 and police calls during an emergency.

    I feel like this would cause more distraction as people try to figure out what's wrong with their phone.
