Jammers Vs Falsifications
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and yet again some candidates tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even illegal ones . In addition to ”ordinary” ways 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. But 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 find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technique made possible for a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gizmos. Thus some political forces 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 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 frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all these bands but also is very compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers 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 phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
