Screech Machine Could Drive Teens Away From Park « CBS Minnesota

HASTINGS, Minn. (AP) — A city in southeastern Minnesota is hoping to solve a vandalism problem in its parks by installing a noise machine to repel teenagers.

Cari Park in Hastings has been a target of vandals for years. The city presumes the culprits are rogue teenagers. So, it’s considering installing the SonicScreen which emits a high-pitched screech heard only by young people. The Minnesota Academy of Audiologists says that since people start to lose high-frequency hearing in their 20s, the sound can’t be heard by adults.

Hastings Park and Recreation director Barry Bernstein says the device would be activated when the parks close at 10 p.m. A motion detector would trigger the noise machine. The St. Paul Pioneer Press says the parks and rec commission is expected to vote on the matter June 14 and forward its recommendation to the full council.
 
There is already a similar setup near a downtown Minneapolis building with a courtyard area that opens to the street. If I worked there I would throw a fucking fit.
 
Waste of money. Taggers go to great lengths to tag a desired location. 2 guys, 2 sets of ear plugs. One tagger, one look out. Save the money on the system and just buy paint. Or better yet, let the taggers make a mural, leave it for a few months, then let them change it again.
 
a few of my parks get tagged up pretty frequently, i would love to try somthing like this and see if it makes a differance
 
Thats fuckin gay. That is the gayest little par...fuck it that's not even a park its a gay little playground and the damage seems minuscule at best...30k in damage? Fuck thats like 1 broken bolt and 600 union labor hours to replace it. What a fuckin joke. I was expecting vandalism on sculptures and fountains and instead I get burn marks and amateur tagging on a fucking modular playset...WTF McDonalds has better playgrounds...in-fucking-doors...fuck detroit
 
I'm with the fuck that. What about children who go to the park. Or teenagers who aren't fuckasses. I was a teenager who went to the park. And I wasn't a fuckass.
 
i believe it will only be on in the middle of the night. when the majority of vandalism happens.

only thing this means, is they have another thing to vandalize. i do enjoy that they have looked past the fact that this plan could be foiled by a 50cent pair of ear plugs.

the problem is when it happens 200 times a year, and with a lot of municipalities already cutting10 or 20% out of theyre budget its getting hard enough to keep up with regular maint. let alone some fuckin dick kids that have no respect for public property that dont even realize the people they are taking away from is the little kids that play on that pos playground!
