@2, i.e. rolling marbles in front of suspect, setting off fireworks, using wind machines to blow plastic bags in the suspect's direction, etc. Generally, these tactics lower the target's guard and enable precious extra time for police-men and -women (who - owing to their police training - are not susceptible to such mind tricks, should the target catch wise and attempt to use any shiny silverware or brass instruments at hand as a countermeasure) to act, while the suspect is caught in a daze of childlike wonder at the elected devices.

using wind machines to blow plastic bags in the suspect's direction should get some kind of comment Pulitzer.

Holy shit, this is what just kept me from getting home in a timely manner. I assumed it was an accident.

and if this guy's half as out-of-his-head as the press on him indicates, plastic bags might really work.
