As for the legality of the jammer, there isn't any laws against a jammer specifically. You can also, own, sell, and use a kitchen knife. But if you use the knife to rob someone, you are now committing robbery. No where in the CCC does it say a kitchen knife if illegal. Same goes with jammers. The device in itself is not illegal. You use it to interfere or interrupt duties of a cop, then you are committing a CCC offence. Whether you believe it is Obstruction or not, that is up to you. For people with common sense, it is perfectly clear that if you buy a device that is only meant to be used to interfere with Police equipment, it is hard to argue it isn't Obstruction. At least with radar detectors, it is giving you a heads up, and not messing with Police equipment.
I guess you are okay with criminals having radio jammers too. The concept is the same thing.

The difference between a kitchen knife and a radar jammer is that a kitchen knife has a legal practical use.
Whereas by your definition the only use of a jammer is an illegal one, so then why have them as legal?
Lets bring together two likes, take heroin for example. It is illegal to use heroin, therefore the law also says it is illegal to make, sell, or otherwise have heroine on your persons.
If it is illegal to use jammers, then they should make them illegal to sell, use and install as well... And yet instead they have made it perfectly legal to own, have installed or sell such devices...
