Tim's spot on.Jamming signals can be highly selective and need not interfere with police/emerg.comms.

Then again a few grams of Semtex in the phone might be more cost effective.

You are right citizen bock...it is an outrage that this thing can still happen...

DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING!

CAREFUL NOW!

It is true that the gards do sometimes go missing when there is a serious flap on.

While listing on my Bat scanner I have often heard the poor old cop
in the station calling for ages to the poor old hard working cops on the beat or the ones driving around
In their copmobiles, to no avail.

It seems to Robin and myself that the response time depends on the location and seriousness of the crime!

Whatever happened to the old-fashioned decent crime fighters ?

Mmmmm.

Scumbags beware Ã¢â‚¬Â¦.Batman is watching you !.

Signal jamming is something that can be selective, you can jam a cell block, a room or an entire building.
UHF, VHF, short burst technology, alarm buttons are all available and have been for a while, it is a joke that the State provides office space and free lodgings for Criminals to conduct their business.

wouldn't blocking the signals interfere with the prisons own communications?

No one in the prison area could then receive a phone call or make one unless by landline. Might be bad in an emergency.

I'm just wondering here. I'm not defending MOJ. Radios would work I suppose. I sure its a matter of what inconveniences the staff less and not whats better for security.

Have you considered the drop in profits for companies like Voda if that were to happen. Criminals are one of their most lucrative customers and they NEVER ring customer care.

Blocking the phone signal is the answer, the question is are they so thick in the Dept. of Justice that they have not done so already?
The technology is hardly new.
