In Mexico City, public security, mobility and official civil protection use the abbreviation C5 to bring together their solutions in terms of control, computing, communication, command and contact, one of the most robust in Latin America. However, in matters of commerce and transportation, the very nature of business cries out for a similar private reinforcement. According to reports from the National Public Security System and the National Chamber of Cargo Transportation (Canacar), transport theft of cargo, especially during road and highway journeys, represents one of the most reported crimes in the country, especially in states such as Querétaro, Guanajuato, the State of Mexico and Jalisco. In 2023 alone, 13,000 cases were registered. Mireya Díaz Mendiola, monitoring manager of the company Total Protect, comments that, without prior notice, these types of situations are increasingly common on the country's roads, where crime uses jammers. (signal inhibitors) to prevent tracking systems from detecting stolen vehicles. This also coincides with the entry into force, since last January 2020, of the Decree published in the Official Gazette of the Federation which reformed the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law (LFTR) and the Federal Penal Code (CPF), which prohibits the use of jammers throughout the country. In other words, anyone who uses these devices can be punished with a sentence of twelve to fifteen years in prison.
