| US penitentiaries use technology that blocks mobile phone signals. I am sure this is the way forward for educational institutions in PRC and elsewhere ! |

I would seriously suggest any of you thinking about this take some time to consider the consequences of getting caught.
In the US you face a $250,000 fine and up to 10 years years in prison (federal prison). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_signal_intrusion
In Australia it is similar. http://engage.acma.gov.au/acmai/mobile-phone-and-gps-jamming-device-faq/
I can only imagine Chinese regulations would be similar. You might find yourself a new home and a lot poorer.
Funny how when people talk about working illegally they are put down, but when we talk about a much more serious crime no one seems to care. It is not only accepted, but several posters have already said they are going to do it.
Possible outcomes, your students find out. They might possibly get physical, meaning kick you ass, then call the police. You get an ass kicking, a huge fine and possible prison time. Then, you get deported, never to be allowed in China again. So, you go work in another country just to find the same problem. What have you really accomplished with this?
*Note: I personally don't agree with laws prohibiting this, but they are laws none the less. I am just making sure everyone is considering the consequences here. |

Well, there is a big difference between lax traffic laws (and other petty restrictions) and potential endangerment of the state's security. You can do the research and read about the relevant laws regarding signal jamming in China. They do exist and I doubt you would find yourself faced with the non-confrontational street police if caught. |

How is jamming school children's cell phones 'endangerment of the state's security'? Also how are they going to know you're doing it without suitable equipment on site to check? There is a vast difference between you teaching in a class without a suitable visa and a gizmo hiding in a drawer. |

I would suggest that it is not the age of the cell phone user that a jamming law would be aimed at but rather the action itself. If you start jamming it is unlikely (evident in your attempt to brag about this action even before it has been implemented) you will be able to keep your tongue from wagging, thus self incrimination. The difference in law has only been determined by you and unfortunately you have little authority or actual perspective on the issuing of regulations and the enforcement of those regulations.
what would be a smart move is to determine if regulations preventing the use of cell phone jammers (if a law or regulation does exist and good luck finding that out) or (this kind of action could be covered by a general law)... I remember much the same argument as to radar detectors and the lose of vehicles due to the self interpretation of current standing law.
But having said that I would hope you forge on so we can see if there is any regulation that would or would not center on jamming cell phone activity. |
