Projects like this often refer to them being "For educational purposes."
I presume the "education" is the user learning how the legal system works, the laws that get applied when they are caught and the typical fines imposed.
I wish these were legal. I do a lot of hiking in forest/mountain trails and it gets SUPER old having someone going along the trail bumping some loud music on a big Bluetooth speaker in their bag. Like, really? Get some earbuds and cut that shit out please. I came to nature to be in nature, not to listen to the latest hardstyle tracks emanating from some dude's backpack. I don't really see why I shouldn't be able to RF jam that shit since they're apparently allowed to jam my earbuds with their acoustic interference.
This might be illegal, but in my country, having loudspeakers on the beach or public transportation is also illegal (carrying heavy fines) and the police doesn’t seem to care at all.
So, I’m probably going to make myself one of these and carry it to the beach at least when I take my toddler.

Would potentially be useful when walking through grocery stores etc. that track your precise location and shopping habits through bluetooth beacons.
Or just leave your phone in the car and pay with cash...
Or... Turn off Bluetooth on your device?
If you trust that it's really off. Not sure if it's still the case but see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22856030

Okay, one extra setting and you're good. (Yes, that's not great, but if it works then it works)
That's the loudest readme I've read in a while, every other sentence ends in an exclamation mark!

Just do it?
Some dipshit blasting music in the mountains isn’t going to call the FCC on you.
Depending on the range/power, I'd be INCREDIBLY CAREFUL of disrupting emergency services.
I haven't researched into what effect it could have, but I'd definitely check first.
If it was safe...then it's definitely less likely to get you in trouble than stomping the 'dipshits' speaker into scrap!
This would knock out wifi too, right?
So this would be the brute force solution for people who are running their Bluetooth speakers on full blast in public spaces.

These are illegal in most countries.
As noted in all-caps with exclamation mark, right at the top.
