The police who stopped him had their radios jammed during the interaction; so I'm not particularly sympathetic to the title's artificial framing:

> Fined $48k for using a jammer to keep commuters from using phones while driving

The person jammed 911, both on and off the freeway every single work-day for months. They also jammed legal usage of mobile devices on the freeway and in the surrounding area. They were rightfully fined, and if it discourages others then so much the better.
