New Invention The Last Straw in the Fight Against Date Rape Crime
When it comes to new inventions in the fight against crime, scientists have come up with a straw that detects date rape drugs.
Date rape drugs are drugs that render a person unconscious thereby allowing other people to take advantage of them. This straw which is actually a sensor that is straw shaped can identify two of the most popular and available date rape drugs. Boasting a 100 percent detection rate the straw-sensor detects both ketamine and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid or GHB.
The innovative straw was developed in Israel and the developers hope to add more date rape drugs to their library of detectable chemicals. At present the straw can be used multiple times until the date rape drugs are detected. The straws cost less than approximately the price of a drink. Further development depends on investors kicking in capital for the straws to be produced on a massive scale and making them more affordable. That’s likely to happen as women, parents and others who are concerned about beign drugged or having their loved ones drugged will purchase these straws by the bucketful.
Date rape drugs are not only highly illegal but can be deadly. Their use is on a level so low and evil that some countries offer a death penalty for their use. People’s lives have been disrupted and ruined due to the unscrupulous people who use these drugs for their nefarious ends. The use of these date rape straws could well put an end to the most common drugs used. That should put a major crimp in the industry of those drugs in particular as well as put rapists and practical jokers on notice that their use of these drugs are not only coming to an end but will catch them in the act. Police stations might find it useful to sell these straws to the public so that there won’t be a bootleg market sellign people fake straws. It could help boost the incomes of the municipalities as well.
Schools and colleges could also dispense these straws to protect their students from the clutches of those sinister enough to utilize date rape drugs. Other concerned institutions and groups could purchase and distribute these devices in hopes of curtailing and ending the use of date rape drugs.
As with any expansion of technologies there will be those who use the latest inventions to their advantage by taking advantage of others. That’s what’s happened to the drugs used as date rape drugs. The fiends who prey on the innocent and unsuspecting will soon be on the run and the smugglers who make fortunes off these drugs will find their pockets running dry. More inventions such as this should be produced. It shows that innovation and good sense can lead to the fight against crime.
