  1. I’d quite like to know more about how exactly they’re using that to lower street drinking

    Wait, is street drinking illegal?

  2. Hmmm… mixed feelings about this one. Trying to see the positives, but struggling to see how this will prove anything other than a suspect was sprayed with the liquid. I guess that will stop any denial of having been at the location in question.

    But if someone is erroneously sprayed with this stuff and marked for six weeks, surely that’s still some kind of assault? Weeks without being able to clubbing without looking like some kind of sex offender…

  3. >West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and Staffordshire Police forces are all using the kit, which costs about £150 a month per person, as part of their strategy to fight domestic violence.

    How in the world is this supposed to reduce domestic violence?
