Answer 1

what is the actual point of hoodies; who seem to be an evolutionary dead end?

Answer 2

id buy one, i hope they make their ears bleed. they make my family's life h**l.

x*x

Answer 3

It subliminally urges anyone under 20 to leave.   Um yeah,.....that is seriously a bad door to leave open.  Think about it.  English law is based upon socially accepted norms.  What doors does a little device such as this open?   Not good ones...that is certain.   BAD BAD BAD

Answer 4

No....I don't think they should be used.  They " should " be banned.  Children are people too, and part of the community.

Answer 5

That is so wrong!

The kids that are bad ruin it for the rest. I might understand it if there was an age restriction in a certain area, but public places "such as parks, shopping centres and around shops" shouldn't have them.

"These devices are indiscriminate and target all children and young people, including babies, regardless of whether they are behaving or misbehaving."

So a mom might not want to take their baby with them when they go shopping? The baby would be crying the whole time right?

Answer 6

your d**n right i would take one!  Everyone want these sort of problems sorted and when something is being done about it people moan.

Answer 7

Already GOT one, - it's called a BLOODY BIG DOG!

Answer 8

Just like anything else that's wrong in this country, they always go for the easier option, the problem is the person wearing the hoody, NOT the clothing!! Just the same with the drink problems of the chavs and scum, they try to restrict sales and drinks promotions (drinks are at ripoff prices in the first place) This country needs to be policed correctly and should stop targeting the masses just to get at the scum who are causing the problems.

The gadget has only been invented because the Police don't want to tackle the problem due to the fact the PC brigade have tied their hands behind their backs, we no longer have a Police Service that can do a job.

Answer 9

NO! I'm 15 and I think it's ridiculous. Only about 10% of the teenage population is a 'hoody' and it pisses off the rest of us no end. There are way too many stereotypes about young people.

Answer 10

i'd love one

Answer 11

The question is a simple one yes or no the moral dilemma is more concerning the minority being a plague on the majority.

Put one of these things outside any shop and 90% of the persons effected will be well behaved kids so they suffer because of the minority, all tarred with the same brush.

Hoodies have become the new underclass that no one wants but they are our future generation. This is a similar situation to Teddy boys,  Mods and Rockers people are singled out because of what they wear or how they look. Soon it will be someone else whos turn it is what goes around comes around.

Would I buy one? absolutely if I was pestered by these problems and ask for a discount on a second!!
