Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and as usual some candidates tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even unlawful ones . In addition to ”ordinary” ways of falsification that were used in 2004, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
Everyone knows that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this method has one big disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment allowed a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. Thus some political parties decided to set small hidden wireless cams 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” choice. Also for these purposes cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special cell 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 jam any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those bands but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
