Taking Matters Into His Own Hands...

I came across this story today and thought it was pretty funny (in a certain sense):

Driver Jams Cellphones

Basically, a commuter in Tampa Bay jammed the cellphone signals of all the cars around him on his ride to work every day for nearly two whole years!  He probably still would be doing it to this day had not a cellphone company tower started looking into frequent reports of outages along the same stretch of road.

The unfunny side of the story, though, is that this joker also jammed police radios and emergency-only calls as well.  Hence the large fine.

I've heard of hating text-and-drive commuters, but I don't think this is the solution (!).
