Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and as usual some political parties did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” methods 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. But this method has serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New technologies made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gadgets. Thus several political parties decided to place small hidden wireless cams on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for 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 stop competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all these bands but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
