MISSOURI A military sound weapon called the LRAD is trickling its way into domestic agencies across the country. Its latest application will be for use against drivers on Missouris highways.
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has purchased two Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) with the intent of deploying them near work zones. The idea is to penetrate nearby vehicles with an overwhelmingly shrill sound to supposedly get them to slow down.
Called a safety device by the local media, the LRAD is most famous for use against civilians overseas during military operations. Its 153 dB sound waves are so powerful that they cause bystanders to reel in pain, clutch their ears, and run away.
Carl Gruenler, a former Vice President of American Technology Corporation (which later became LRAD Corporation) said that the device will produce instant headaches, permanent hearing damage, and that you definitely dont want to be within 100 meters of the device. Of course, that was said in 2004, before the company began marketing its weapons to domestic government agencies.
Since then, the LRAD was being delivered to local law enforcement agencies throughout the USA; many through federal grants aimed at militarizing police. By 2009, the LRAD was dramatically used for the first time against Americans, when police mounted it on their armored vehicles and used it to disperse unwelcome protesters in Pittsburgh during the G-20 Summit

The most popular sport here is putting red noses on all the deer crossing signs.
Perfect! Just as a speeding driver approaches a work zone, blast them with intense sound, startle them onto loss of control, and scare them so much their first thought is to floor it to get away from the pain.
Ah well, if that fails there's always...
Did you catch the name of the Sheriff?
Sheriff Stassi.
They write themselves!
*smooch*
Why?
He got enough "pleasure" tormenting people as a building code enforcer.
Wasn’t this the state that didn’t want drivers to flash their headlights to warn other motorists of a speed trap?
Nothing has even happened yet and I already want in on the Class Action suit.
DUUUUUUUDETTE!!!!! You weren't talking about canines were you? Cause they are just fuzzy people, and I depend on mine to take care of me.
An idoit biker did that to me once, came up alongside me and revved his straight pipes up to full rpm. Startled me and I started to go into his lane as I was looking into the mirror.
Meanwhile, the liability lawyers are entering their feeding frenzy mode, foaming at the mouth at the prospect of telling a jury how the government “fired a cannon” at the accident victims car, causing it to crash.
It will be a hoot watching the government try to explain that it is a “less than lethal” cannon.
This is #1 of 78 videos on the subject. It might be an idea to download them all considering what happened at the Bundy Ranch this past week.<

Yes cuz their hearing is so much more sensitive than ours.
It would blow their minds.
Nobody could be that stupid...
Exactly. Great post.
Just another piece of evidence why many people believe we are moving towards a military/police state.
Once people’s start embracing this as normal, like most did with the cameras lining the highways, they may just move towards something even more unimaginable.
