Maybe those little directional ones?

Wait, is that a thing? Am I just imagining stuff?

I don't know, IR? I think there's direct line of sight connections too. There's a lot of different ways. Some things are definitely not being blocked though or else all these other connections wouldn't be a thing. Like really seriously think about it in the sense that the cops aren't magical all seeing and all powerful. At the material level we can see for 100% certain that there are connections that aren't being blocked.

We have this perception that they're doing a lot more than they actually are. It's part of the illusion of power.

The thing I'm imagining looks like a big radar gun that just kinda floods the appropriate channels in a beam (depends on drone), but it would still require someone to spot the drone and someone to aim the jammer (and calibrate it to 4G or wifi or whatever), so lots to go wrong in the time it takes for a drone to cross from unrestricted to restricted airspace. And if the drone has a directional antenna (less likely the smaller the drone, but for a purpose built assassin drone, could be) it would be a lot less effective.

But I'm still not sure if its a real thing. It does sound like something cops would buy should it exist tho
