Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to the bright future and yet again some candidates did everything possible to win, even if it was forbidden. In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways 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. But this technique has serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies allowed a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy tools. So some political forces started to place small secret wireless cameras on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all these frequencies but also is highly 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 phonejammers is growing not only among common 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 exams at schools. What’s next?
