The problem is what is a signal jammer. The police could likely go into anyone garage and find "burglar tools". Your neighbors router running on the same channel will jam your devices if the signal is stronger than the one from your router. If you were very stupid you could take the magnetron out of your microwave they run on the same 2.4g frequencies and put out 1000watts compared to a router 1watt.
What a lot of the so called jammers are using is a old exploit related to authentication messages. This has been around and known since the very early days of wifi encryption. . A very simple raspberry pi can be used to send these authentication messages. The police would have to sit around and hope to detect someone sending these messages.
This exploit has been fixed with the latest wifi security called WPA3.
The big problem is IOT type device which wifi cameras are a big part put ease of use over security. They are being sold to the consumer market who are so dumb they are very lucky to be able to take the device out the cardboard box. Almost all of these use what is called WPS to set it up. WPS is actually a worse security exposure than the authtentication attacks.
The WPS isssue is also fixed by WPA3 because it is not allowed. You now have the case where the dumb consumer market devices can not implement the security fixes because they are activaly using one of the security exposure.
Not much you are going to do about this. The police would have to actively sit around try to detect these wifi signals. If they were that close they would see the bad guys in the first place.
