Sponsored by Sen. Jamie Woodson, R-Knoxville, SB3702 would prohibit the sale, possession or use of devices designed to block law enforcement radar.
Anyone found to sell or posses a radar-jamming device would face a $50 fine and/or as much as 30 days. Using the device to interfere with police radar could result in a $500 fine and/or up to six months in jail.
