Jammers Vs Falsifications
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and yet again some political parties tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unlawful one. In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved ways 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 technique has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New technique made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. Thus some political parties decided to set small hidden 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 cell phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammers to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers 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 those frequencies but also is highly compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we can 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 January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
