Comment on UK police could get Ghostbusters-style backpack devices to halt ebike getaways

Why would an emp require line of sight? That’s not how emp works, even if directional.
Also, this is dumb as shit. They are going to fuck up so many nearby electronic devices if this is used in any populated area. Might be fine out in the sticks.

I know the UK doesn't have a big sue culture, but I can not imagine this wouldn't result in lawsuits if somebody unrelated to the crime dies due to their pacemaker stopping

And t1ds in 2024 often relly on phones to track blood sugar via continuous glucose monitoring devices.
The big thing that will increase lawsuits. Is the fact this is visible when used.
So anyone with a damaged device in range is likely to blame it even if it was safe and some how only effected the ebike.

Well… dead people don’t sue.
