Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a new section to the Penal Law setting imprisonment of up to five years for anyone who intentionally operates a wireless device to jam or interfere with frequencies designated for security forces, police, prison service, fire and rescue, the Witness Protection Authority and the Magen David Adom association. In addition, the proposal updates the provisions in the Penal Law regarding electronic break-in devices (such as devices that allow vehicle doors to be opened remotely) to raise the maximum penalty from three years' imprisonment to five years. The proposal is put forward in response to the increase in the use of jammers in vehicle theft offenses and aims to protect lawful enforcement activities.
