Castlemead Insurance Brokers have become aware that GPS and GSM/3g based tracking and
alarm technology can be blocked with off the shelf jammers available on the
internet. Sites such as iforgou.com based in China offer gadgets
that will jam mobile phones and GPS.
At the moment there is no law against owning one of these
devices however use of them is a breach of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006.
Somehow we doubt that thieves of high end vehicles or those involved with hi
jacking high value loads from trucks will worry about this minor offence.
We urge you to be aware of the potential deficiencies in
these technologies and ensure that you consider these as part of your security
strategy.
