• FCC's $25,000 jammer fine against Texas jewelry heist suspects is headed to a 'last known address' — and likely no further (wirelessestimator.com) — Federal regulators are seeking a $25,000 fine against three men accused of using signal jammers during a 2025 overnight burglary at an Irving jewelry store, allegedly interfering with Irving police communications on the 700 MHz band. The case, built from an Irving police report, highlights how small jamming devices can disrupt critical public safety radio systems, even though officers still made arrests. It also raises questions about whether the FCC can realistically collect such fines.
