Hate to bother you, but they already have them. They have been used at several demonstrations in the New York area by NYPD. They have them mounted on big white SUvs and called them acoustic area denial systems.

Hope these work. Images from around the United states of the long range acoustic device (LRAD) which uses pain as a way to control crowds.








People think these are nice ways to control crowds? not if your the one at the wrong end of over 150 dB of sound its not. Focused sound, not random scattered waves, tight controlled targetted beams.

Now, my theory is that they keep inching their way further and further towards a system where all PDs have these as standard, and the larger or more active area denial weapons are more specialised. This way, people see the softer face, and forget the mailed fist hidden behind their backs.

Yeah, i realise this-Alex Jones was asking coppers about them on one video at some demonstration-it's appearing in the news osf sorts though now.Most 'innovations?!' have been brought into the public sector under a mantle of secrecy for years.

Those acoustic weapons don't work - at least to keep pirates away..

The nonlethal weaponry may not work as advertised. It
might also be very lethal as tasers have demonstrated.

That sword cuts both ways and directed energy weapons
are available to the general public. Here is a weaponized microwave oven


and here is an example of burns caused by such a weapon
