A mobile phone jammer or blocker is a device which deliberately transmits signals on the same radio frequencies as mobile phones, disrupting the communication between the phone and the cell-phone base station, effectively disabling mobile phones within the range of the jammer, preventing them from receiving signals and from transmitting them. Jammers can be used in practically any location, but are found primarily in places where a phone call would be particularly disruptive because silence is expected, such as entertainment venues.

In the French penal code, murder is defined by the intentional killing of another person. Murder is punishable by a maximum of 30 years of criminal imprisonment . Assassination and murder in some special cases in accordance with Article 221-4 ) are punished by a jail term up to life imprisonment. The same punishment is given to murder committed in connection to other criminal offenses according to Article 221-2.

In Italy the penal code regulates intentional homicide, "praeterintention" homicide corresponding to the Anglo-Saxon Felony-Murder, and manslaughter. <<Thus - to summarize - we see that murder includes murder committed with the intention of producing [...] serious injury, or with the intention of producing that which either can easily produce the other and, therefore, also includes cases in which death is preceded by criminal intent and which is the consequence of an illegal act, which by its nature constitutes a crime. Involuntary manslaughter, however, includes homicide caused by omission, involuntary manslaughter, accidental homicide resulting from an unlawful act which is not a crime, and the like>>.

Under Dutch law, moord (murder) is the intentional and premeditated killing of another person. Murder is punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, which is the longest prison sentence the law will allow for, unless the sentence is commuted or pardoned by the Sovereign of the Netherlands. However, this happens and few appeals to the King for clemency have ever been successful.
