This is true but jammers work both ways, and take a lot of resources and time to set up. For fast changing events like MA it's unlikely the cops or ICE have this sort of infrastructure ready.

Even if they can jam a small area, that ties up pigs who will still endure fatigue from long hours and overtime. Meanwhile, outside of urban centers where jammers are best ROI you will enjoy free reign over the pigs.

Oh, and the jammers deployed by pigs aren't as powerful or advanced as military grade stuff. I wonder how good those jammers would work against broadcasts outside of the consumer drone spectrum.
