No RED TAPE for the Mosquito Device
A council in England this week voted that there is to be NO RED TAPE for people wanting to use the Mosquito Device in their area, reported the Lancashire Evening Post.

A debate has raged across the UK for over a year in relation to the controversial Mosquito Device launched in January last year. The device was developed by CSS Ltd. in South Wales, its purpose, to disperse groups of unruly teens by annoying them to a point where after 15 minutes, they need to leave the area.

The device which has sold over 3,500 units across the UK in the first year has been said by some liberal campaigners to violate the human rights of teenagers. What these people are missing, is that everyone has the ‘human’ right to enjoy their lives in peace and harmony. Groups of unruly antisocial teens are in many cases violating these rights, often to a point where some business owners consider closing-up their businesses.

The Mosquito Device does not solve the underlying problems causing teenage anti-social behaviour, however, when used correctly – ONLY WHEN A GROUP IS CAUSING PROBLEMS – it does solve the problem on a case by case basis WITHOUT POLICE INTERVENTION, WITHOUT CONFRONTATION & WITHOUT VIOLENCE.

Si Morris, commercial director of CSS Ltd. said ‘ It is good to see that the debate has finally come to and end and that people who have been unsure about the device have finally realised that it is perfectly harmless, is not violating anyone’s rights, but is giving back victims of anti-social behaviour the ability to benefit from their human right to go about their business peacefully and without harassment to themselves or their customers’
