Severe (Federal Criminal & Civil Penalties)

Operation of any transmitter designed to block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications is a violation of Section 301, 302a, and 333 of the Communications Act of 1934. In addition to civil forfeiture up to $155,000+ per citation, willful interference with health sensors or 911 calling carries criminal liability under 18 U.S.C. § 1362 punishable by up to 10-20 years imprisonment.

Minor / Warning 47 U.S.C. § 302a Incidental spillage under 10m, no critical device knocked offline Notice of Apparent Liability; $11,000 fine per day
Substantial Civil 47 U.S.C. § 333 Willful jamming of neighbor's Wi-Fi / cellular access (10m - 25m) Equipment seizure + $30,000 to $75,000 forfeiture
Severe (Federal Felony) 47 U.S.C. § 501 / 18 U.S.C. § 1362 Uncontrolled blast (40m+), disabling residential 911 VOIP or medical sensors $155,000+ per citation; Asset forfeiture; up to 10-20 yrs prison

Context: Engadget Investigation & Public Safety Evidence

As reported by Engadget: "A Bluetooth jammer might seem like a fix for a neighbor's loud music, but using one can lead to serious legal consequences far beyond simple noise control."

Because RF waves propagate spherically according to the Inverse Square Law and penetrate standard gypsum drywall, a signal potent enough to drown out a speaker 15 meters away simultaneously radiates in all directions, disrupting baby monitors, insulin pumps, cardiac pacemakers relying on 2.4GHz BLE telemetry, and home Wi-Fi across adjacent units.
