Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and as usual some political forces did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” ways of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
It is well-known fact that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this technique has one big disadvantage, voter may take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy tools. Thus some political forces decided to set small hidden wireless cameras on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to disable all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all those frequencies but also is rather compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
