ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for deterring an undesired behavior of at least one person. The apparatus comprises a projectile having an exterior that will not cause serious injury to a person. An actuatable launcher supports the projectile and propels the projectile in response to being actuated. A spool is mounted on the projectile or launcher. Line is wound on the spool. The line has an end portion operably connected with the launcher and another end portion operably connected with the projectile. The spool is positioned so the line is pulled from the spool after the projectile is propelled.
A method of crowd management comprises the steps of providing a plurality of projectiles. Each of the projectiles has an exterior that will not cause serious injury to a member of the crowd. A plurality of actuatable launchers is provided. Each of the launchers is capable of supporting at least one projectile and upon actuation propels the projectile along a desired path. A spool is attached with each of the projectiles or a launcher. Line is wound on each spool. The line has an end portion operably connected with the launcher and another end portion operably connected with the projectile. The plurality of projectiles are propelled away from the launchers at substantially the same time from different directions over a crowd so the lines are pulled from the spools and contact members of the crowd.
