The invasion of privacy using a drone will be a clear cut criminal offence. Moving to criminalise the use of drones for any sort of anti-social behaviour empowers the public and private businesses to protect themselves against this behaviour. The single greatest drone defence is drone signal jammer. Drone jamming is already in use in sensitive areas surrounding government property and in some cases industrial property too. Legislation will soon be in place and a drone capture using drone jamming will tip the balance in favour of those on the right side of the law. Once a drone has been captured it can be electronically identified and the operator traced to source.
While some signal jammer shoot actual ballistics in hopes of damaging any unwelcome aerial visitors, most modern anti-drone guns use signal-jamming frequencies to confuse the incoming UAV. When a drone’s radio signals are interrupted or continuously jammed, the UAV either lands as a precautionary measure or returns back to its origin. Either way, the goal has been accomplished—your drone blocker got rid of the intruder.
The Justice Department micro-wifi jammer test is the agency’s latest effort to crackdown on phone use. In August, the Justice Department asked Federal Communications Commission regulators to come up with a way to stop inmates from using contraband cellphones, according to the Associated Press. Currently, the FCC can only give permission to block public airwaves to federal agencies, not to state or local ones.
Garcia of Cebu’s third district then asked how cellphone signals between the supposed drug lord and the contact outside could get through if the jammer was on. BUCOR also admitted that the cell phone jammers installed inside NBP are not working properly. “Marami na tayong jammer na sira. Ang problema diyan walang capital outlay, walang procurement,” said BuCor S/IPT Robert Rabo. (We have plenty of jammers but not working, and the problem now is we don’t have capital outlay that why there is no procurement.)
