Vancouver Police to use LRAD sonic weapon at the Olympics

Canadians beware: your government was so impressed by the Pittsburgh Police use of the LRAD against non-violent protesters, they refuse to rule out it's acoustic weapon capabilities in the management of crowds! VPD Constable Lindsay Houghton had a show and tell session with the media about their recently purchased MRAD, or Medium Range Acoustic Device (as broadcast by CBC News - November 10, 2009).

If you are thinking of being a voice of dissent during the Olympics/Canadian government public relations stunt, the Vancouver Police will likely try out their newest toy on you! Protest the VPD; tell them that the People have a right to assemble and petition their government for a redress of grievances! Even if the government determines their protest to be "inconvenient!" What better time to address government corruption and social injustice?

Who would protest the olympics?

[P0LICEstateWATCH]

@johnd94 It's not that people would protest the olympics, it that the olympics gives activists the platform to be heard on the world stage. Obviously, in a time of economic crisis, you could argue spending a billion dollars (on security alone) for the olympics is a waste

This article is out of date. There was a public statement released later that the MRAD's pulse function will not be used.

[P0LICEstateWATCH]

@sl1m0thy if that's true I'm glad to hear it- they would not rule it out during that press conference. It seems like a no-brainer to at least come and and say they won't use it, but I doubt they can "disable" the function to use it as a sonic weapon

[PhoenixOpenProject]

Of course they intend to use it as a non-lethal weapon against the people.

People should start some class law sue to the makers for victims of hearing loss.

These devices violate the Canadian Center For Occupational Health and Safety noise exposure limits.

they have those at some schools that turn on at night to keep kids from partying.

[VANDRO81]

If the VPD have an PRAD system then why wasnt it used during the riots.

Anti-olmpic protests??

WTF who the hell is agaist the olympics.

I can understand someone may not follow or watch the olympics... but why protest agaisnt the olmpics

[XJohnDough360]

If you sample the osscilating sound from the cannon. Then play it back thru a loudspeaker you can knock the sound out. (What is called cancelation or sonic collision). Also you can reflect the sound back using a sheild, something like a round bbq grill top would work good! and ear plugs! Bring your GEAR! The people should not be afraid of their government, The government should be afraid of its people! Raise the fist !!!

[Leutchik]

Yeah, let's let the anarchists disrupt everything because there is no absolutely harmless way to stop them from doing so. Isn't modern life wonderful? Especially for lawyers who try to cast everyone as a victim, no matter how much of a selfish or violent A-hole they are in the first place.

[HemiHead66]

Yeah, just one more tool in their Nazi war chest that'll keep the people in line.
