The Mosquito.
I found this on the BBC news page. Apparently there is some uproar amongst various liberty groups about the device infringing on children's rights. I wonder how many of those arguing that point live in areas blighted by teenage gangs and trouble spots? I'm not interested in the rights or wrongs of using the device necessarily, that is a different argument. I'm just curious how often Professor Sir Albert Aynsley-Green has had to deal with groups of unruly and possibly dangerous children round his gaff. Not often I'd venture. It's not as if the device is intended for people over the age of 25 to go around chasing gangs of kids with it. As long as it is used properly and with appropriate licensing then it serves the purpose of making communities safer. The shops by where I grew up became/become a veritable no-go area at night times because of the various ne'erdowells hanging around it. A couple of these would sort the problem by all accounts. I wonder why it is such a bad thing? I am of course playing devil's advocate, but feel free to indulge me.
