Acoustic weapons being employed by Australian police on public?
From a concerned citizen ....
This is what I have just heard in the past hours , via a phone call from Paul F and others online - that the AFP deployed a weapons system called LRAD on the crowds at Canberra - on the Sunday . There is photograph of the device attached so you can see what it looks like..
There are stories of people who though they covered themselves in sunscreen and with hats , still they had sunburnt skin on the face and elsewhere. High frequency sound can cause this - it can also cause deafness and nausea.
Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD)
The Long-Range Acoustic Device is an acoustic hailing device, sound cannon and sonic weapon developed by Genasys. Law enforcement organizations and the manufacturer claim that LRAD systems are primarily designed for long-range communications; however, the device has an extremely high decibel capacity and is controversially used as a 'less-lethal' weapon for crowd control.
LRAD DEPLOYED IN CANBERRA: This ought be the biggest news story in the country. The photo here was taken in Canberra on Saturday, February 12, 2022 as ordinary Australians protested outside Parliament House against all the mandates. Note the head gear worn by some officers, and either the headphones or ear muffs worn by the officer closet to the device. It was also pointed out that the police lined up in phalanx formation closest to the protesters were wearing earplugs, as though they knew the device would be used, despite the fact that there were children in the crowd. In a meeting of the Senate Legal & Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee held this week at Parliament House, Senator for Qlnd, Malcolm Roberts, asked Federal Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw if the LRAD’s were used against protesters on 12/2/2022. Cmsr. Kershaw looked extremely uncomfortable and said he’d get back to him. It’s pretty obvious that they were used. The devices pictured look exactly like those from a 2016 ABC article (Tues 17 May, 2016) which revealed that Australian Federal Police had indeed bought the weapon. QUOTE: "Australia’s police forces are buying up devices capable of causing long-term hearing damage from a distance. The controversial Long Range Acoustic Device, or LRAD, has been used to disperse crowds in protest situations in the US."

Many Police Departments across the US have used Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) systems to aid in directing crowds and dispersing protesters, such as in the Lafayette Square protests on June 2, 2020. LRAD systems are a type of Acoustic Hailing Device (AHD), used to send messages over long distances. LRAD systems produce much higher sound levels (volume) than normal loudspeakers or megaphones.
Over shorter distances, LRAD signals are loud enough to cause pain in the ears of people in their path. LRAD systems have recently been used by police as “sonic weapons” to break up crowds. At first blush, the use of noise rather than physical force might seem like a safe, non-lethal way to move and direct crowds, but if used improperly they can cause permanent hearing damage. This is not only an issue for the intended targets; it also poses a significant threat to public safety officers working nearby.
