That's one hell of a car alarm.

Check out how oppressive the police come across in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akwjAjcQnqM - Watch from around 7:10 and wait for the robotic warning from the sound truck a minute or so later.

I think it would be more effective to have a really loud baby crying instead of the alarm...

Wonder how many years before the police start using the Humvee-mounted microwave gun that gives the crowd the feeling that their skin is burning off ?
(it's what the military has in testing now for crowd control. I guess it's a lot cleaner than the diarrhea gun, lol)

What about the people's pets? My dog would've lost his shit. I cover his ears whenever fire trucks/ambulances/cop cars speed by. I can only imagine what this would do to him. And to me, trying to deal with it all. I'd probably grab my 12 gauge and shoot out the speakers, then plead temporary insanity, genuinely.

Maybe they should fire realistic looking crying baby dolls out of a rapid firing cannon at the protesters.

what about people that live on the homes around that fucking machine?!
how are they supposed to tolerate that weapon with nowhere to go?!

*fear

Invocations (fear) cannot be called by mxxcon because mxxcon is not privileged - sorry.

Big screen TVs playing fox news would disperse most of the protesters

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by schmawy.

I thought the purpose of these less than lethal things was also their ability to focus sound down to a narrow target so it doesn't disturb everyone? Don't get me wrong I'm glad they are doing this instead of tazing or whatever but I feel like they just bought a truck and put a lot of speakers on it, no?

Totally ridiculous.

Blasting Nickelback would probably be way more effective, but it might also qualify as some kind of crowd torture.

Wow, the police officers stand there for the entire linked video right until the end were a loudspeaker on the truck politely asks everyone to leave the immediate area or they will be arrested. Those overbearing monsters, police officers threatening to arrest people that refuse to clear a street when ordered to. Next thing we'll be seeing videos of the people actually being arrested as well...

And I love the guy with the mega phone chanting this is not Tehran for awhile. I'm sure the reformists really appreciate having their struggle marginalized by comparing it to this non-incident.

Is this a clip from Half Life 3?

Oh, definitely not a police state, no certainly not...

hahah that is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. How is that going to disperse a crowed? I've seen wankers on the subway listening to their ipods louder than that.

I bet this is punishment on the police force!

If you don't meet your traffic ticket quota you're assigned to drive this horrifically annoying vehicle.

What are they going to do when protesters start wearing ear plugs? If I lived there, I'd get on the roof and shoot that fucking speaker out with a BB gun.

Should've have called the cops and reported someone breaking a noise ordinance.

The non-lethal part doesn't apply to those that gouged their ears out.

At least it hasn't occurred to them that blasting Hannah Montana would be more effective.

How does this not cause ear-drum-damage?
