Fifth Circuit backs FCC on fine issued to manufacturer of radar jamming device. Most companies are content to lose a case once or twice. But some don’t get the message, and just keep on running up against the wall. Rocky Mountain Radar ( RMR) makes a jammer intended to help motorists evade police radar. It is different from a radar detector (legal in 49 states which merely signals the presence of a radar beam. The RMR jammer does more. It not only detects the radar beam, but modifies it and sends it back to confuse the police radar device so it cannot register the car’s speed. The driver sails by, with a friendly wave for the officer. The FCC announced 14 years ago that such jamming devices are illegal. RMR ignored the memo and kept on selling the product. A short time later, the FCC’s then-named Compliance and Information Bureau cited RMR for marketing an unlawful “intentional radiator” – FCC-speak for what most of us call a transmitter. RMR raised a Clintonian defense. The FCC rules define an intentional radiator as a device that “intentionally generates and emits” radio-frequency ( RF) energy. Not guilty, said RMR. Our device does not “generate” RF. Rather, it simply picks up the RF from the police radar and sends it back. Not being an intentional radiator, the jammer is not subject to FCC regulation. QED. The Bureau disagreed. The device does “generate” a signal, it said. The incoming police beam just serves as a power source. Besides, said the Bureau, the purpose of the device is to cause harmful interference to a licensed service (police radar which is illegal no matter how we classify the unit. RMR sought review by the full Commission, which backed the Bureau. Next, RMR appealed to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, whose 1999 decision backed the Commission. At that point RMR had lost in every available forum except the U. S. Supreme Court.
