We get all sorts of government trade journals delivered here. I found this while leafing through the latest issue of GSN: Government Security News (http://www.gsnmagazine.com/).The video below advises:
The "Dazer Laser" is an "ocular distraction device" that emits a non-damaging [Oh yeah-RW] laser pattern that temporarily blinds a person. Some of them will work up to 1.5 miles! The videos show quite clearly how they do their dirty work... I can imagine it won't be long before SWAT teams are mounting these to their RV's for crowd and riot control.
In the event of crowd control...simply use the Dazer Lazer like a paint brush and daze the crowd across their faces.
(Thanks F!)
Having a technical backround, I wonder how using a mirror to reflect this pulsing laser would affect the users of this device, or better yet, a whole crownd of people with mirrors. Another $1,000,000 big government gadget defeated by basic physics.
ReplyDeleteIf this is so harmless, why are all the "bad guy"actors in the video wearing laser-proof glasses?

ReplyDeleteNow if they can only find a way to attach it to a shark.
ReplyDeleteI like the 'mirror' idea.
ReplyDeleteMirrors wouldn't do anything to the swat team because it appears they are wearing glasses that filter out the 532nm laser. Because its a single wavelength the glasses can completely filter it out, even when looking into it directly. -People in the crowd however could also order said glasses as they are radially available but chance is slim anyone would. -Laser Tech, MN
ReplyDeletewhat are the chances of permanent blindness as an after-affect? i think i'd rather be killed than handicapped by the police.
ReplyDeleteWould you rather be Tased (risk heart-attack) or be dazed (no risk.. no it doesn't create blindness)
