MODERATORS
Authoritarian states do use their power to cut off internet connection to prevent people communicating or getting the word out about atrocities.
I don't think American police Jam signals specifically but they do spoof cell tower signals to man in the middle people's phone traffic. The government hacks people's phones. They arrest people who protest or expose government crimes. It would be tough to get away with preventing people from recording a police crime because the videos happen and spread so fast.
