Jammer! He Just Wanted Privacy, But This Little Device Caused Big Trouble

Gary Bojczak drove a truck for a construction company that was constantly tracking his vehicle. Plugging a little dongle into the cigarette lighter could block that surveillance, but ended up causing way more problems than it solved.

This bonus video is my way of saying thanks for helping me hit 100k subscribers! Wow 👀

Also illegal in my country. In one occasion, it was used to sabotage pooling process and the ruling party was accused for tampering the result instead. I bet it was the opposition mole all along. The pool result was nullified and postponed to another date.

Feed the output through a linear amplifier..... from 5W to 500W and into a few Km of insulated electric fencing wire --- That ought to make them all dangerously excited. You just wiped out 500 Km of GPS signals..... https://upload.wikimedia.org/w....ikipedia/commons/thu

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: here I thought we'd see some crocodiles... What do you men police men are disappearing!? Did you check their watering holes?!

@WMHarrison94: I new a guy who had a CB radio with a linear amplifier and a HUGE whip antenna to handle the electrical power... and although ionic skipping signals around the planet was an issue, he could do it all the time and his broadcast range covered half of Australia... It wasn't like 4W and 20 miles up the road on a good day.... Everytime he fired it up - they thought he was running a secret experiment with weather warfare etc...

@WMHarrison94: https://www.wearecb.com/cb-radio-range.html - about halfway down on ionospheric skipping... And no - the crocs don't eat Aussie cops - the fat cunts don't fit down their throats....

Great Idea - I must buy one.

Apparently these are very deeply frowned upon....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Australia:

GPS and mobile phone jammers

Mobile phone jammers (also known as PMTS jammers) and GPS jammers (also known as RNSS jammers) are transmitters that interfere with lawful communications devices such as mobile phones, GPS and

networks.
Issues caused by jammers

Mobile phone jammers disrupt frequency bands used to supply mobile

services. This affects the proper use of mobile phones.

GPS jammers affect the navigation systems used by emergency services. This includes police, ambulance and fire services. Jammers can also interfere with other types of day-to-day communications.

Most importantly, both mobile phone and GPS jammers can stop Triple Zero (000) and other emergency calls getting through. This means lives could be at risk.

Mobile and GPS jammers are illegal

Operating, supplying or possessing a mobile phone jammer or GPS jammer is banned under the Radiocommunications (Jamming Equipment) Permanent Ban 2023

.

I would like a jammer in my home/school/office or private premises

This is illegal. These are banned devices and their disruptive effects may go further than intended risking harm to others and cannot be operated safely.

Penalties for using jammers

Under the Radiocommunications Act 1992, there are serious penalties if you supply, possess or operate a mobile phone jammer or GPS jammer.

Penalties for breaching the rules can include a fine up to $1,375,000 and up to 5 years in prison.

Why GPS doesn’t work in some places

GPS signals are sent by satellites far above the earth – simple obstructions such as tall buildings and trees can impact their ability to get an accurate location.

If your mobile coverage is poor, or you think you're affected by a jammer

The best point of contact for poor mobile coverage is your mobile provider. They will best be able to work out if poor coverage is due to a jammer or something else.

I just wanted to jam the police signals for when they decide to come for my guns... Ammo pickups welcomed... if you're hot enough, almost all I'll take... wink, wink.

@WMHarrison94: it was Ammo is all I'll take? Fucking Android again?

@WMHarrison94: I think it's because things might be by direct satellite link and the signals are so weak - it does not mean inoperable - it just means very very very low power, - that the issue of fucking up the signals REALLY fucks with the issues of EXACT global positioning of many things like aircraft and tons of really important things... which is why I kind of wondered that with a 3 to 5 W output, why were people going fucking nutso - big time - when this guy was near an air port... Really that is like a cheap portable UHF walki talki... 3 K to 5 K range.... except it's in the GPS part of the radio frequency spectrum.... I dunno... I don't know enough about ALL the details or sufficient to know the issues of transmission and signal strength and interference issues - I do know about time drift and how the satellites going through time and space at much higher speeds than us, leads to them becomming behind us in real time, so tiny amounts of time drive make for REALLY big discrepancies in the defined location in earth - when the signal from the GPS goes from the phone to the satellite and back at the speed of light - or 240,000 KM up and then back... and how 0.00000002 of a second difference, makes for 120 Km out of position (made up numbers but it's accurate enough to illustrate the point and not mislead people)

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Their high speed in orbit is what keeps them in geosync orbit...

@WMHarrison94: You should read my paper on the devilish trickery of time travel..... No one has ever proved time travel cannot be done, because we are all doing it anyway... AND we can all go faster and slower though time by choice - although not by much at the present... but it is still being done...

@WMHarrison94: Well if your unlucky your going to get an eternity in purgatory, and if your a real cunt, you might get multiples of eternity - quite a remarkable verdict from a cult that is only 3100 years old..
