Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a person to 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” methods 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 method has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New technique allowed a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. Thus several political parties started 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 cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to jam all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all those frequencies but also is very compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
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 winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
