Newsbot Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Anti-social youths are to be brought under control with a device which emits a high-pitched noise. Source : http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/world/...man/6242271.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'm sure one of them thingies was already installed somewhere in the past - Broadway if I remember it right - and was rather quickly..ahem.."removed" Another attempt to tackle the problem, but not the cause...

Sidney Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'm sure one of them thingies was already installed somewhere in the past - Broadway if I remember it right - and was rather quickly..ahem.."removed" Another attempt to tackle the problem, but not the cause... If I remember correctly, the use of this device was discontinued in the UK due to fears that it may be an "Infringement of human rights". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 David Christian said: "We felt for a cost of £500 that it was worth getting one and trying it" Cool attitude. Maybe they can get a few grenades to lob at groups of youths. "Well at £100 a pop it's worth a try eh?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 How about giving the kids something to do rather than installing things to move them on from the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhumsaa Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 yeah all it's going to do is piss off everyone else while the little bastards will probably try and set it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yes, then they'll have even more stuff to vandalise and abuse but at least it'll be 'their stuff' instead of our cars etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ean Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 So anyone under the age of 24 is gonna be bothered by this? As Anti-social behaviour goes I'd rank making a high pitch annoying noise constantly up with vandalism, hypocritical fucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Is this like the thing used to discourage longtails? Anyway, why not put them into ankle bracelets (like people on probation have to wear) and make pedophiles wear them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonan3 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Moving the problem from one place to another is hardly a solution. As Amadeus said, trying to tackle the problem without taking account of the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Moving the problem from one place to another is hardly a solution. As Amadeus said, trying to tackle the problem without taking account of the cause. Clarity at last. Where on earth do they expect these kids to move on to? Will they then put some stupid machine up there to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call in the Pied Piper of Hamelin and they can follow him down to the River Dhoo to drown them all. I know Steve Rodan plays bagpipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 One of the big points during the elections was the need for a proper youth centre, and at least in south, all candidates agreed on that - maybe it's time to remind them and get something moving. If we can spend 12 million on the wedding cake, surely we can spend a bit on a proper place for them, especially as - if done right - it could be a lot more than just a warm place to hang out. Just putting up what is effectively a torture device and hoping the problem moves away borders on the unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
