By the Commission:
1. We impose a penalty of $48,000 against Mr. Jason R. Humphreys for using a cell phone 
jamming device in his car during his daily commute between Seffner and Tampa, Florida. Mr. 
Humphreys’ illegal operation of the jamming device continued for up to two years, caused actual 
interference to cellular service along a significant portion of Interstate 4, and disrupted police and other 
emergency communications.  
2. On April 29, 2014, the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture 
(NAL) proposing a $48,000 forfeiture against Mr. Humphreys for willful and repeated violations of 
Sections 301, 302(b), and 333 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act) and Sections
2.805(a) and 15.1(c) of the Commission’s rules by unauthorized operation of an illegal jamming device, 
and causing intentional interference.

  Mr. Humphreys has not filed a response to the NAL.

  Based on the 
information before us, we affirm the forfeiture proposed in the NAL.

Mr. Jason R. Humphreys IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY

In April 2014, Enforcement Bureau staff mailed to Mr. Humphreys via certified mail, return receipt requested, a

staff mailed two notices to Mr. Humphreys advising him of his options, including demonstrating an inability to pay. 
Both certified letters were returned as unclaimed. See Letter to Mr. Jason R. Humphreys from Ralph M. Barlow, 
District Director, FCC Enforcement Bureau, Tampa Field Office (Jun. 19, 2014); Letter to Mr. Jason R. Humphreys 
from JoAnn Lucanik, Deputy Chief, Spectrum Enforcement Division, FCC Enforcement Bureau (Dec. 15, 2015).

2014, and twice in late 2015.  Staff spoke to Mr. Humphreys once but was disconnected, and he did not answer 
staff’s call to him immediately thereafter.
