new use for auto tint welding helmets
there are some things that make sense, and others that are just a little odd,...

off with the hoodie, and on with the auto-tint!

You can imagine the compensation claims flooding in after the police use this!

Jesus. No-one fecks with my vision, that's a big no-no. There's comparatively little knowledge about eye damage from short term extreme
exposures (like welding flash) and there's contradictory advice on it (several welding sources I read claimed zero long term damage from it, but
it doesn't seem likely). And would you trust the police to fire it only at the correct distances? No chance.

Far better than the current powers... "Stop doing that or I'll tell you to stop it again!"

If this country is so soft it wont use baton rounds or water cannons during riots then there is no chance they would ever use this during a riot.

Aye (although if you think that's all the powers they have I think you may be as mistaken as they are), for those doing something wrong maybe.
But what about those that get caught up in the crossfire. Or for those power-obsessed police who can't get enough of their new toy (and we all
know they exist) I fear for everyone elses safety, not so much those rioting. I didn't used to doubt the police and considered them something of
an authority requiring respect, unfortunately that's been questioned a couple of times lately by personal and close 3rd party experience, now
I'm not sure I could trust them not to deploy it, probably incorrectly, on a whim at the expense of my vision.
