funny thing is I can hear dog whistles too  cue jokes  |
They put the sound on Radio 4 this morning and I could hear it - my dad who was with me however couldnt. Im 28 so I'l be quite pleased if it means my ears are still in good fettle!
Anyway - I think there is a danger if they are available to the public at large - anyone could stick them on the front of their houses like burglar alarms (and we know the trouble they can cause!). I do think however that if a shop for instance has had a track record of problems with gangs hanging round (and in my job I get to know all about it) then they should be able to apply either to the Police or local authority to explore this option if appropriate.
I do however worry that its a much larger problem.
