Weapons Testing on Citizens

[Bunnykid68]

Funny how that works, if they disable you while driving, it makes sense, but if you disable yourself (think inebriation) it is a criminal offense.

That is probably what they would charge you with after you wrecked

 

[Fred78]

Hey if you got it use it by-golly can't have these citizens uncontrolled

I hate this new weapon. It makes texting and reading e-mails difficult.

You think that's tough, with a good alignment and cruise control, I usually count on getting a good nap between here and Indy.

I've tried that only between Bedford and Indy...but those stop lights in Martinsville tend to be somewhat problematic.

We know the LRAD is more than just loud.

We do? Its a directional loud speaker. It has a volume knob, it has pre-programmed sounds, and it has a microphone. Pretty much like my siren box in my car, only it can go way louder and the tech nerds figured out some way to make the sound move mostly in a cone other than in a sphere. What is it other than loud?

I protest anything that could potentially interfere with Two-fer Tuesdays and "Mandatory Metallica"!

I still miss the old cars where "cruise" was called "auto pilot". Could get lots of sleep, and a beer or too, with that 1.

Actually you bring up a good point. LRAD is just a VERY loud speaker. What most associate with the LRAD is the sound recording that is painful. However, I've heard one used myself as a PA in crowd control/concert/loud environment and it's VERY effective at cutting through the ambient noise. It was a hundred yards away, through a loud crowd, and the person talking on it sounded like he was right in front of me...spooky.
From the article:
The state has already conducted tests with LRAD (embedded below), loading it onto the back of a truck and sending out verbal "slow vehicles ahead" warnings to nearby vehicles

It takes a lot to get a verbal message throught the airtight cabins of modern vehicles. So many do not hear the siren of my patrol car when I am right up on their butts, let alone a block or two away.

Worked like a charm. You can connect an Mp3 player to it to play a pre-record message or a mike to speak live to a crowd.

So if one of these was used by the crowd.....

A riotous crowd? That's what that video was of. It won't end well for them. Acting within the law, I can handcuff you, you cannot handcuff me. I can pepper all you, you cannot me. See what I am getting at?

My question had to do with the law.
Handcuffs are considered restraints, and I'm pretty sure restraining police or non-police is already covered by law.
I'm also pretty sure the law doesn't include this device.

 

[actaeon277]

It has been stated by two people, that it is really just a really loud speaker.

If I had to field a guess, it is just a loudspeaker or alternately a WMD depending on who is using it and toward/against whom it is being used.

Well, since we agree its just a really loud speaker, it would be viewed as such legally as well. A bullhorn isn't specifically mentioned in the law, either, but states tend to have laws such as disorderly conduct, rioting, noise ordinances, inciting a riot etc. that could apply to someone using a bullhorn. Similarly, a bullhorn could be used in a demonstration in a totally legal manner. It would all depend on the specifics of that incident.

 

[Ruffnek]

What will they use after all of the speeders are deaf?

Perhaps a blinding flashing light directed at the speeders eyes.

You've watched Future Weapons too eh?

Thanks for the answer.

Thanks for the answer.

In other words, the State will find a way to charge you if you step outside your door. Or if you stay indoors. As long as you're breathing, you're offending.

Yep. The passing of more and more laws ensures that we're all criminals now. ... “ Show me the man and I'll find you the crime” Lavrentiy Beria

The device being discussed in this forum may be just loudspeakers. The "real deal" will be saved for later. The device in the link looks fun too, never mind that it probably has a "quick fry" mode. Every step this government takes is for a reason...
