Jammers Vs Falsifications
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and as always some candidates tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even illegal one. In addition to “standard” 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. The thing is that this method has serious 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 gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret tools. So several political parties started to set small secret wireless cameras 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, some parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors 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. This universal jammer not only blocks all those frequencies but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
