Yes and there was an article few months ago telling that burglars now use wifi jammers to turn off wifi security cameras before breaking and entering. Those jammers are pretty much illegal as well but criminal do illegal stuff anyways…

That being said, how would blocking only the GPS help criminals in their criminal activities? I lack imagination I guess.

Your phone or car saying you were near the scene of a crime when it occurred. Your phone or car showing that you regularly cross paths with a person of interest. Jammer would keep those devices from rating you out.
