SEATTLE COPS USE NEW “DAZER-LASER”
July 24, 2010 by Frank Lake
SEATTLE - Police are using a new tool for law enforcement that neutralizes suspects by temporarily blinding them with a green laser.
While guns, tasers and pepper spray will still be used by the police, they have a disadvantage because they can cause physical pain and damage. The Dazer Laser emits a “modulating pool of green light” that “temporarily blinds and disorients a suspect, ” according to the Seattle Police Department. They went on to say that the weapon does not cause damage to the eyes, even at close range.
Those promoting the Dazer Laser claim that it is effective from as close as three feet and as far away as a mile-and-a-half. The potential police tool would not be sold to the public and would “require a security code to activate,” explains Chief of Police, Mark Hadlock.
The Seattle police are also considering these new tools:
1) THE PERP WHISTLE: This is a sound device that works in a similar way to dog whistles. The police officers blow the whistle and only criminals can hear it. The criminals, who will be driven nuts by the high-frequency sound, will come running into the police station
2) THE EAR SPLITTER: This is a simpler device. When police officers encounter a suspect, they will blow a horn that goes up to 145 decibels. The suspect’s ear drums are temporarily damaged. The suspect will be in excruciating pain for several minutes and then, according to police, their ears will return to normal
3) THE BRAIN SCRAMBLER: This is a combination of The Ear Splitter and The Dazer Laser. When encountering a suspect, the officers shoot a blinding light accompanied by a high-decibel sound. This causes the suspect’s brain to go into a massive seizure It’s only temporary though. The suspect will recover and will once again learn how to walk and talk.
4) THE HEART DART: A dart that officers shoot directly at a suspect’s heart. This causes the suspect’s heart to temporarily explode. The suspect is then taken to the hospital and when the dart is pulled out – voila! – the suspect’s heart returns to normal.
The goal is to neutralize suspects, cause them extreme physical harm – temporarily – and then to determine whether they actually committed a crime or not.
