Re: Coming to a Law Enforcement agency near you!

IIRC, the LRAD is made in San Diego, so that local connection may have prompted
the San Diego LEO's awareness of the device.

The LRAD has been mounted on cruise ships and cargo ships in order to fend off the
African pirates. I believe that it has been successful in its mission. But if it's been so
successful, why don't all ships have it?

Speaking of LEO's with military equipment, the Smith County, Texas
(Tyler is the county seat) sheriff, combs the government surplus auctions and has purchased 2 APC's
(Armored Personnel Carriers). They are named Bubba1 and Bubba2.
They have the ability to crash through walls and are painted with "Knock. Knock!" on the front.
He loans them out to other agencies when requested.
