Hello! I am a police officer in Youngstown, Ohio. Our mayor, Charles Sammarone, recently announced that soon all city cars will be equipped with GPS trackers and I think about it as the violation of my privacy rights. Can I do something to fight back?
A mobile phone jammer is a device used to prevent mobile devices from receiving signals from their base stations. The military military jammers were originally designed for law enforcement and military use, so they could block communication between terrorists and criminals. They are also very common in prisons, where cell phones (obviously) are not allowed for inmates. Once the public became aware of the technology, many people – particularly employers – wanted to use it themselves, especially in the big cities where it seems everyone is always on the phone.
Imagine this: you’re in the mall, talking to this guy you love, and suddenly your phone dies. Not because the signal fell, but because someone else in the mall did not want to hear your phone call! Recently, a guy from Philadelphia anonymously told the local TV station that he was using a “cell phone jammer” on public transit so he could have some peace and quiet. Now the question on almost every lip was: What is a cell phone jammer?
GPS tracking systems for cars are widely used across the USA. The opinions about their usage have divided into two camps. One group of people thinks that using GPS tracking devices is great and it helps a lot in their work and they don’t bothered by the fact that they are tracked all the time. Other group of people thinks that despite the usefulness of such technological innovation the privacy violation is too high and thus GPS tracking must be stopped.
As I can see you belong to the second group and sincerely willing to protect your privacy by all manner of means. So I have great news for you! You can prevent GPS tracking in your Youngstown city car and save all your privacy rights in that way.
