Pacification upon demand.
Like stun guns, tear gas and less-lethal ammunition, LRAD can be used in crowd control and other situations as a non-lethal weapon. Non-lethal weapons are somewhat controversial. Pesky human rights groups stress that even though they are less lethal, they are still weapons and have caused deaths in some circumstances, which isn’t really that big of a deal (Qualified Immunity.) The LRAD in particular has drawn criticism since its effects can be permanent, and non-lethal weapons' effects are supposed to be temporary.
GOLDCORP successfully employed the LRAD recently in Kenosha, WI.
