Subodh Yadav, 37, and his accomplice Vipin Kumar, 42, were arrested in the car robbery. According to police officer Romil Baaniya, the two allegedly confessed to the crime and provided details of their actions.
Yadav and Kumar allegedly purchased the damaged cars from insurance companies and, through a vast network of engine and chassis number punchers, changed the numbers of the stolen cars to those of the damaged cars. They will then sell the car to a used car buyer. Kumar himself runs an automotive workshop in Chandigarh where he stamps engines and chassis numbers.
The accused, Subodh Kumar Yadav, has more than 20 previous convictions including murder and attempted murder.
The Anti-Auto Theft Squad was alerted to the problem after multiple motor vehicle thefts and began investigating the cases. After gathering intel on the potential automatic elevator behind the crime, they learn of the presence of Subodh Yadav and Vipin Kumar in Vasant Gaon. The informant allegedly told the police that the two would travel to Vasant Gaon to seal another deal for the stolen luxury car.
Based on this information, the team planted a trap near Valmiki Mandir there. Subodh Yadav and Vipin Kumar arrived by car and got off. Sensing something was wrong, the two tried to run away, but the team became alert and they caught both of them.
They discovered that the car they had come in, a Mahindra Rexton, had also been stolen.
In addition to the mobile jammers, police also recovered six stolen vehicles, including a Honda City and a Honda Amaze, as well as keys to 20 different cars and other tools they used to successfully steal the vehicles.
The Delhi High Court is hearing pleas against the prison authority
Which has been accused of engaging in various illegal activities such as extorting money, supplying drugs, mobile phones and other prohibited items.
Prison authorities informed the Delhi High Court on Tuesday that mobile signals, especially those of Jio 4G, cannot be blocked inside Tihar Jail using the technology they have, and have asked state-run C-DOT to develop a prototype car gps jammer to prevent inmates.
The court is hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by a lifer inmate after receiving a letter from him accusing prison authorities of being involved in various illegal activities such as extorting money and supplying drugs, mobile phones and other prohibited items.
It further alleged that prisoners were "tortured like animals" by prison authorities. After receiving the letter in 2018, the court has asked a prison visiting judge to investigate the allegations and submit a report.
In his April 2019 report, the judge informed the court that the allegations that prohibited items were found inside the prison and that prison authorities extorted money from prisoners for the fundamental right of one hour a day of release were based on statements by various prisoners.
You're driving down the road, minding your own business, and suddenly you spot an officer parked on the side of the road pointing something at your car that looks like a radar gun. Your trusty radar detector never makes a peep, though. The first thoughts that race through your mind: Is my detector broken or did the cops get some new radar gun that my detector can't detect?
Chances are the answer to both questions is no. What happened is that you were shot with a police laser gun.
California Laser jamming Device Act
It is worth noting that police use two types of speed measuring equipment: laser speed guns (also known as police lidar) and police radars.
Jamming police radars and operating radar signal jammers are federal crimes and are banned throughout the United States. Police radars, while nearly as accurate, are mostly no longer used by law enforcement.
Laser speed guns or lidar are now more commonly used. Some states prohibit the use of laser jammer, while most of the United States does not have specific anti-laser jammer laws.
How popular are police laser guns?
Nationwide, 125,000 speeding tickets are issued every day
Police laser tickets accounted for more than 25 percent of the tickets. In Ohio, Florida and Rhode Island, however, laser tickets account for more than half of all speeding tickets. In addition to a handful of radar guns on military bases, the state of Hawaii has transitioned to lasers only. One of the reasons for the growing popularity of police laser enforcement is that car insurance companies donate laser guns to police departments. Lasers are harder to beat than radar guns, and this investment can pay back dividends to insurance companies because of increased revenue through higher premiums.
Is laser jamming legal in California?
In some states you can legally use laser jammers, but in California attempting to interfere with the operation of both laser and radar speed measuring devices is illegal.
California Vehicle Code Section 28150 (Division 12: Equipment of Vehicles, Chapter 5: Other Equipment, Article 17: Jamming Devices) states the following:
(a) No vehicle shall be equipped with any device that is designed for, or is capable of, jamming, scrambling, neutralizing, disabling, or otherwise interfering with radar, laser, or any other electronic device used by a law enforcement agency to measure the speed of moving objects.
(b) No person shall use, buy, possess, manufacture, sell, or otherwise distribute any device that is designed for jamming, scrambling, neutralizing, disabling, or otherwise interfering with radar, laser, or any other electronic device used by a law enforcement agency to measure the speed of moving objects.
(c) Except as provided in subdivision (d), a violation of subdivision (a) or (b) is an infraction.
(d) When a person possesses four or more devices in violation of subdivision (b), the person is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person who has a valid federal license for operating the devices described in this section may transport one or more of those devices if the license is carried in the vehicle transporting the device at all times when the device is being transported.
Where is the laser jammer installed?
Laser enforcement is usually done when you approach an officer aiming at the headlights or front panel. Therefore, the laser jammer transceiver must be installed in the grille area of the vehicle in order to function.
These transceivers are then connected to a controller mounted below the dashboard, which is then connected to an external warning LED and/or speaker. The number of transceivers required depends on the size of the vehicle. For example, a mid-size car needs two fronts, while a large SUV needs at least three.
Rear laser enforcement accounts for only 5 percent of all speeding tickets, but in some areas, such as Dallas/Fort Worth, officers have been known to target behind vehicles from overpasses and highway entrance ramps. The rear of the vehicle can also be protected, but fitting the head there can be more difficult and add to the cost.
As a widely employed form of traffic enforcement, police lidar, also referred to as police laser, presents a considerable challenge in terms of detection and is utilized extensively across the globe.
The use of police lidar, also known as police laser, is widespread in traffic enforcement worldwide, presenting a popular and difficult-to-detect approach.
Remember that a radar detector may not be enough to safeguard you from police laser speeding tickets.
This statement remains valid as, when an officer utilizes their police laser gun, the lidar's narrow light beam is usually focused on either your license plate or one of your headlights.
At a distance of 500 feet, the light beam's width measures a mere 18". If you fall within the targeting range, the police lidar general typically requires fewer than a second or two to determine your speed, depending on your distance from the device. This is especially true when you are targeted from behind, often from an elevated position such as an overpass or an onramp.
Today, law enforcement officers can target individuals from distances greater than 1500 feet. In these situations, a reliable police lidar detector can prove to be quite useful.
Even with the best radar detectors, there is still a chance of being caught by police lidar.
Hence, it is of utmost importance that you possess the added protection of an efficient laser signal blocker, the Laser Veil stealth coating, or a combination of these two measures.
It has been approximated that police lidar is accountable for a minimum of 25% of all speeding tickets given out, particularly in states like Hawaii where it is the only method employed.
TPX produces a cost-effective police laser jammer that offers high performance for vehicles and motorcycles at a competitive price point.
After thorough testing, we can confidently state that the Uniden R9 custom installed radar detector and laser jammer possess the most superior laser jamming capabilities we have ever encountered.
The TPX and Uniden R9 have continuously met our expectations during our journeys.
If you are unable to purchase a police lidar jammer, the Veil G6 stealth coating is an excellent and affordable choice, providing effective protection against police lidar.
When paired with police lidar jammers, Veil can enhance their effectiveness, particularly with certain models like the Anti-Laser Priority, Escort ZR5/ZW5, or K40 laser jammers that may experience "punch-throughs" allowing speed readings to still be obtained.
Radar detectors typically do not detect laser signals. Radar detectors are designed to pick up radio waves emitted by radar guns used by law enforcement to measure vehicle speed. On the other hand, laser jammer are devices designed to detect and disrupt the laser signals emitted by police lidar (light detection and ranging) guns. They work by emitting infrared light pulses that confuse or jam the laser gun's ability to accurately measure a vehicle's speed. However, it's important to note that the legality of using laser signal jammer varies by jurisdiction.
They emit pulses of infrared light to disrupt or confuse the laser gun's ability to accurately measure the speed of a vehicle. This interference makes it difficult for the laser gun to obtain a speed reading, potentially alerting the driver and allowing them to adjust their speed accordingly.
Do Police Laser Jammers Work? - Yes they do.
Would I still need to purchase a radar detector if I buy a laser jammer? - Yes, a laser jammer will not detect police radar. Because of this if you want 100% protection you will need both a radar detector and a laser jammer.
Do you sell radar blockers or radar jammers? - No, jamming radar is illegal and can land you a $50,000 fine and 5-years in jail.
Can I Get Parts for My Blinder M47, M27, HP-905? - Sorry but no, Blinder has discontinued manufacturing this laser jammer as they are exclusively manufacturing for the Escort brand.
Are Laser Jammers Legal? - The states of California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and the District of Columbia do have laws that do prohibit the use of laser jammers.
Glendale police issue warning about burglars using WiFi signal jammers to disable alarms, security cameras
GLENDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- Glendale police have issued a warning about residential burglars who use WIFI jammers to disable security alarms and surveillance cameras.
As described by police Sgt. Victor Jackson, the devices used by thieves block the signal or scramble the WiFi. "So if you have a Ring camera, a Nest camera -- any kind of alarm system that is WiFi-based or a camera that's WiFi-based -- it blocks the signal and knocks it out," he said.
A disproportionate surge in residential burglaries plagued Glendale and Southern California in the fall, leading investigators to the crime trend.
"As our detectives started going into these cases, that's when they realized what was happening," Jackson said. "In some cases, because of the way the device works, it made it look like when you went back and rewound your tape and looked, it wasn't a black screen -- it was seamless. It didn't exist there, so there was no evidence."
Police recommend that residents increase security by:
- hardwiring alarm systems and cameras,
- using back-up batteries in those security devices,
- installing sturdy locks on security gates,
- enhancing exterior lighting,
- securing windows and balconies,
- and having a trusted neighbor or housesitter look after your home, when away.
The Glendale Police Department's residential burglary task force has been working to lower the number of break-ins, officials said.
"Our patrol officers, our motor officers, our special enforcement detail, and detectives -- we have them undercover in the area -- and we saturated the area," Jackson said.
Nora Alabi, a Glendale resident, told ABC7: "I feel like there's no part of the city that you can be in and not run into a cop or not run into a police car.
"If I stand here for five minutes, I might see like three cop cars drive by," she said. "So, because of that, I feel like it's a safe city."
