People who speak loudly in transport over the phone and force other passengers to listen to events from their personal lives are annoying. To cope with this problem, a 63-year-old man from Chicago every day since 2014 drove with him to work a jammer of cellular communication.

Dennis Nicoll (Dennis Nicholl) is accused of jamming mobile phone signals aboard the Red Line train in Chicago. The 63-year-old man used a device that the Chicago Sun-Times edition described as an "object with five antennas." Nicholl knew that the gadget was illegal, and since 2014 he has been using it on the way to work.
The defendant’s lawyer said that Nicoll did this because the people on the train annoyed him. The man wanted rest on the way from home to the hospital in Ilinois, where he worked as a financial analyst. The lawyer added in court: "He could be selfish and think only about himself, but he had no malicious intent."

Passengers complained about the lack of communication in the train. One of the citizens called 911 with such a message, and then the police officers entered the case. They had clues - Nicoll did not hide the gadget that he used very well, and his photos with the device walked around the network for several months, writes the
Chicago Tribune .
The problem was that Nicoll could jam not only people's everyday conversations, but also calls to the rescue service and the police. The suspect was discovered when he drowned out the connection on the phone of a nearby plain-clothes police officer.
Before that, a man was already arrested in the same case - in June 2009. After that incident, he was supervised for a year, and the equipment was confiscated and destroyed.
We had to wear headphones.
