So it's slightly easier to clean off than glitter and perfume after a half a dozen lap dances?

FTA: "Once there has been a security breach, the hi-tech spray unit will douse fleeing robbers with an invisible, synthetic DNA solution,"

Meh, fill the sprayer full of pure capsicum and you won't have to chase the suspect down. You can just laugh at him while he's lying on the ground, screaming in agony. As an added bonus, you might also get some of the customers, too.

Ugh, I'm sorry, but the term "security breach" and "McDonalds" should not be used in the same sentence... When you hear "security breach", you think something of actual importance being invaded, like a missle silo being overtaken by Hans Gruber or something, not "ZOMG that redneck just stole a big mac!"

I make my own DNA sauce right here at home.

Will anybody who glows under UV light be considered a criminal?

Damn good idea, really. With a sequence unique to each location, a suspect can't claim an alternate location alibi, either. It'll be interesting to see who it stands up in court. They'd better have some great quality system controls.

Are there that many robberies at McDonald's to warrant the expenditure?
 
2012-01-08 10:08:23 AM
I thought the bone-crushing shame of finding it necessary to rob a McDonald's to show how much your life has been wasted was deterrent enough.

I've seen someone take a shot square to the face and beat the living shiat out of the guy that sprayed him. I wouldn't be willing to take the chance.

Even this what I don't is.

"Pepper spray" isn't pure capsicum, either.

Sorry, but crack heads and tweakers aren't terribly concerned about the consequences of getting caught. When the meth calls, tweakers don't stop to think about four years in jail. They think about four minutes from now, when they will be in screaming agony if they don't hit up Wendy's for some hot-and-juicy cash.

umm, you have to hold a UV light on them to identify the robber.

when exactly does that happen?

I mean, yeah if you caught them it would be icing on the cake
but it's not going to help catch anybody not already caught

1) Have your buddy use the drive through.
2) Rob the place
3) Escape through the drive through window into your buddy's car.

That's what the helos with the UV searchlight are for.

Will they need a warrant to use UV light to search? Is that considered "plain view" when you have to use a UV light to see the evidence?

Bring an umbrella. I'm guessing it sprays from above the door. If not, many stores have large windows that would make a great alternative exit.

It is, however, what you are legally allowed to use and what someone is most likely to have.

Yeah, I know, that's the sucky part. Can't have any fun with that regular stuff.

I was thinking that McDonalds is going to spend millions refitting these on stores all across the world, they'll be effective for awhile, and then all future robbers will start wearing one of those cheap rain ponchos you can get for 2 or 3 dollars.

I'd always figured if I was getting in to a life crime, I'd be buying clothing from Goodwill and tossing it (or burning it) after each crime.

Ok, politically correct copy editor run amok: Look, if you have a bag full of money or product from a retail food establishment, and you attempt to leave with it without a properly conducted transaction, you are not a "suspected robber". You are a robber. You are a thief. You can describe the person who you are matching to that thief's description as a suspected robber, but the guy you spray because he's robbing you is confirmed to be a robber, not just suspected.
