New Devices Available for Police To Temporarily Blind Suspects


For a few years the International Committee of the Red Cross banned LASERs used to blind combatants. What makes these new weapons less dangerous? What prevents them from being used on humans driving along the highway? I can hear the excuse in court." Your honor, I was temporarily blinded." And the judge replies "What evidence do you have? Those devices are only allowed for police to use. And  they never abuse their authority." 

[From article]
The company claims that the weapon inflicts no lasting damage on the target and does not harm their retina and cornea, although we heard the same thing about taser weapons which have killed over 500 people in the United States since 2001.

The notion of “pain compliance,” a technique increasingly being utilized by police departments, has led to concerns that officers have been given the green light to resort to a form of torture that provides plausible deniability.
Fresh spotlight has been thrown on tactics and weapons being used by police departments in America following last month’s disorder in Ferguson, Missouri during which numerous journalists were arrested and had sniper rifles pointed at them simply for doing their job.
