The individual who utilized a speed camera jammers

Image
The driver who installed a laser jamming device in his work van to evade speeding tickets has been issued a suspended jail sentence, fined £3000, and subjected to a two-month curfew. After fitting a Laser Star jamming device to a VW Transporter van, Jason Moore was convicted of perverting the course of justice by a jury at Swansea Crown Court for obstructing a laser speed camera operator from Dyfed-Powys Police in establishing the speed of the vehicle. The court was told by James Hartson, the prosecutor, that in September 2018, the van was observed driving at high speed as it approached the speed camera located near Nantyci Showground on the A40, St Clears, approaching Camarthen. When trying to determine the speed of the vehicle, the camera operator encountered an error message on the device. However, the operator had been trained by experts at Road Safety Support to identify the unusual circumstances that could lead to the appearance of this error message. Dyfed-Powys Police, as m...

CTA Riders Complained Of Dropped Calls Before Arrest Of Alleged Cell Phone Jammer

Image
Charges were brought against a 63-year-old Chicago man on Tuesday for allegedly using an illegal device to find peace and quiet while on the CTA. It has been reported by Audrina Bigos of CBS 2 that the man has a history of being accused of jamming cell phones, and the abundance of complaints about dropped calls has garnered attention. Dennis Nicholl, a certified public accountant, left jail in a ball cap and business casual attire after being charged with a felony for using a signal jamming device. Keegan Goudie noted that the device was highly visible, leading him and his brother to publish a blog post on thesixthirty.com following their sighting on the CTA Red Line. Chas commented that it seemed he was involved in dubious activities, and that the device was not something he should be touching. Cell phone jamming equipment can be found for sale online, with prices varying from $30 to $300. Federal legislation prohibits the sale, purchase, or operation of these devices. These sign...

Is It Possible for Law Enforcement to Detect Laser Jammers?

Image
When a police officer utilizes a laser radar gun to target a vehicle, a laser jammers intervenes by causing the gun to exhibit a "no response" or cosine error. This error prevents the police officer from discerning whether the vehicle possesses a laser signal jammers or if their aim is simply off the mark. A laser jammer is a device that generates a "no response" or cosine error when a police officer targets a vehicle with a laser radar gun. This error prevents the police officer from determining if the vehicle is utilizing a laser jammer or if they are simply not aiming accurately at the vehicle. How to jam police lasers? To defeat a laser the front laser jammers must protect the headlights, license plate and surrounding reflective surfaces. In the rear, the license plate and tail lights are the primary targets. The center high-mounted stop light, backup lights and vertical, reflective surfaces are also targets. Even a tailgate-mounted spare tire/wheel assemb...

Wicked Uber drivers are employing fresh strategies

Bear will endeavor to explain the intricacies entailed. Firstly, there is the question of what and how they are disrupting. Bear will assume that they are causing interference instead of hacking, which constitutes an entirely separate affair. If a human experiences a loss of network connection to Ubear but retains phone, data service, and GPS connectivity, it is highly probable that the problem lies with the Ubear app. There is no need to suspect that nearby drivers are causing disruptions. When Ubear loses coverage, a common situation in its mountainous habitat, no specific actions are required to regain access to U/L. This issue appears to be related to the human's phone. If human is being jammed, most off-the-shelf (all illegal) jammers are going to be broadband and omnidirectional. In fact, bear finds in a search that such devices advertise their broadband capability. So any driver using one is going to potentially take out not only cell service but also TV broadcast (which s...

What is the reason behind the fascination with illegal cell phone jammers?

Image
Bearing a resemblance to a walkie-talkie, the phone blocker is a device of significant power. Once turned on, this small contraption can effectively block all cell phone signals in the nearby area. The use of such a device is not only a federal offense, but can also result in a substantial $16,000 fine and potential jail time. Eric, a Philadelphia native, refused to be discouraged by the situation. He became increasingly fed up with the incessant cell phone conversations on SEPTA 44 buses. To avoid being subjected to these discussions, Eric resorted to activating a jamming device. Eric noted that a large portion of the population is loud and shows no regard for privacy. To deal with the annoyance, he adjusts the antenna and turns on the device. The use of jammers, like the ones utilized in this particular case, is against the law as they have the ability to block emergency cell phone communications and interfere with essential signals, such as police radios and other two-way radio...

How are people spending their time now that wifi jammers have become common?

Image
The focus is on wifi obstruction and technologies that make use of wifi for communication. The wifi interference mentioned does not affect cellular or sensor RF communication. Wifi-dependent cameras and wifi communication for dual path signaling are vulnerable to security risks. Certain third-party security systems exclusively utilize wifi, and they sometimes refer to a security system as a single doorbell camera. A prolonged absence of wifi connectivity would trigger a dual path communication failure alert. The panel is designed with RF jam detection for PowerG and legacy sensor frequencies, although it does not address wifi jamming. Both wifi jammer and cellular jammers are created to disrupt different signals that require interference. Their range of products consists of combo units that have the ability to jam both cellular and wifi signals in a single device. The ingenuity of thieves is constantly evolving, as they employ more sophisticated techniques and go to extreme leng...

Lithuania Sends Drone Jammers to Ukraine Following New Aid Plan

As a part of its military aid package, Lithuania has generously donated drone-jamming equipment to Ukraine. This valuable contribution will supplement the existing Lithuanian counter-unmanned aircraft systems, which are already highly advanced and widely deployed. The aid program provided by the ministry to Ukraine consists of unspecified capabilities, including weaponry, ammunition, unmanned aerial vehicles, anti-drone equipment, and requested training and logistics support. A significant aid package has been revealed by the country for Kyiv, amounting to 200 million euros ($217 million). This long-term plan is designed to be distributed until 2026, providing sustained support to the city. According to Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas, the weapons and equipment supplied by Lithuania and its allies play a critical role in supporting Ukraine's fight for independence and in ensuring the security of Europe. Continuing Support With a em commitment to assisting Ukrai...

The FCC is clamping down on Cell Phone 'Jammers'

Image
The FCC has highlighted the security implications of illegal devices that have the capability to block cell phone signals. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has taken note of the growing trend of individuals selling " signal jammer " - devices that have the ability to block cell phone calls, text messages, Wi-Fi networks, and GPS systems - and the potential risks they pose in public settings. The utilization of small, battery-powered devices has become prevalent in establishing "dead zones" within limited areas, typically spanning around 30 feet. These devices have found application in various settings such as movie theaters, restaurants, and schools, aiming to deter individuals from using their cell phones. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that these devices also pose certain drawbacks, including the disruption of emergency 911 calls, interference with navigation systems near airports, and even the interruption of radio communications near police s...

High-tech jammers help international burglars break into Valley homes

Image
One of the devices was uncovered by Phoenix police during the arrest of three burglary suspects, as outlined in the arrest documents. Phoenix police have alleged that burglars are employing cellphones and Wi-Fi jamming devices to break into the Valley's upscale homes. This narrative mirrors the tactics commonly seen in spy movies, adding an element of intrigue to the situation. Around 7:30 p.m., surveillance officers in Phoenix observed multiple suspects in the Camelback Hill area near the intersection of 44th Street and Camelback Road, according to reports from the police department. The suspect was seen by officers entering a home and attempting to break into the residence, according to police reports. The culprit then left the home and entered a waiting minivan, but the police intervened to stop the vehicle from leaving. According to the arrest documents, the driver struck the police car with great force and velocity. Subsequently, four individuals emerged from the vehicle ...

Speeding cops are thwarted by laser jammers

Image
Americans now have access to a radar scrambler, the latest tool in the ongoing war between speeding motorists and traffic cops. Priced at under $100, this device can be purchased by anyone. For $199.95, a more powerful version is available, capable of disrupting police liDAR and older RF radars. These scramblers surpass regular radar detectors by emitting signals that confuse police radar, thereby preventing an accurate calculation of a driver's speed. Radar detectors are banned in several European countries, including the UK, as well as in certain US states. Mike Churchman, the founder of Rocky Mountain Radar in Littleton, Colo., clarifies that scramblers operate differently from radar detectors and are not affected by the same legal restrictions. Unlike radar detectors, scramblers do not detect radar signals. Instead, they employ a high-gain antenna to reflect incoming signals back to the radar gun, while simultaneously emitting another radio signal to confuse the receiver. Inc...
