Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and yet again some candidates tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even forbidden ones . In addition to ”ordinary” 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. The thing is that this technique has serious 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. Today’s equipment made possible for a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. So several political parties decided to place small secret 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” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those frequencies but also is extremely compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phoneblockers 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 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
