MetroPCS discovered that a blue Toyota Motor Corp. (TYO:7203) Highlander SUV was transmitting the signals and appeared to be jamming fellow motorists. But despite its data, the FCC was unable to convince local authorities to track down the driver for some time.

Earlier this year, however, two Hillsborough County Sherriff’s deputies pulled over the owner of the vehicle – 60-year-old Jason R. Humphreys -- for a traffic offense. When approaching the vehicle their two-way radios were disconnected from the dispatcher. The officers correctly identified something was wrong, and asked to search the vehicle.

They found Mr. Humphreys possessed a jamming device hidden behind his seat that was capable of locally blocking three bands commonly used for cell phones and radios. At that point Mr. Humphreys came clean, admitting he had purchased the device with the intention of committing a bit of vigilante justice on his daily commute.
