From an RF enthusiast,
Wideband jamming will get a lot of attention very quickly and is extremely easy to triangulate with handheld hardware and a couple of hours of training. I'd recommended against doing that.
At the point you already have a tense paramilitary operation clashing with protests in what is escalating towards lethal violence, I'm not sure finding wideband jammers will be the priority of responders in the area, at least not the first few times.
Though in times of peace and order, wideband jamming is, yes, a big no-no.
Hide them and trigger them remotely.
Alternate between multiple devices and relocate every time you use it.
I bet you could waste a lot of their time with this.
I understand it would be totally easy to triangulate if it were a single jammer, but would it be possible to triangulate a mesh of maybe half a dozen jammers. It seems like a headache to try to triangulate that because your signal strength would be all over the place.
