FCC hammers cell phone jammers

seeing as how the FCC probably type accepted these stingray devices, they're probably not going to go after the law enforcement agencies that are buying them.

They still show them, but when click on the item, you go to a dead end. They had one that would take out 2 and .7 meter as well as public service and PD.

Which countries do we ship or sell to?
Most countries, currently we do not ship or sell to USA, EU including Switzerland (except in the case of permitted sales to government agencies).
Thought it was interesting. Busy working and didn't have time to research it. Our government used cell jammers at Obama's inauguration.
Care to expand on this a bit? What did the FCC do vs. what where they supposed to do?
Exactly. I hate it when someone with outside info just makes a blanket statement without following up on WHY or HOW they came to that conclusion.
The statute that authorizes a fine for violation of the rules has 2 sections. One is those who engage in activity requiring a license or who have a license. The other is for those who don't have a license. In the former situation, the FCC can immediately fine someone for a rules violation. I guess the presumption is that if you have a license you should know the rules and you don't need a warning. In the other situation, the FCC must issue a formal citation before issuing a fine. The citation is supposed to explain the rules and why you violated them. It is also supposed to give you the right to a conference with an FCC agent to explain your situation. If you get a citation and then violate the rules a second time, the FCC is authorized to fine you.
In this case there was no citation. The FCC is taking the position that the equipment certification process is licensing and therefore they don't have to give a citation first. However, the fine is for selling the equipment and there is no FCC requirement that anyone have a license to sell equipment. This was the same argument the FCC tried to make against a dealer I represented who had a flier for an amp in his shop. The judge agreed that the FCC was wrong. But I guess they don't care what a judge says.
