SONIC devices that violate EU torture laws and are used to disperse gangs of loitering youths have been banned from Scotland's train network. ScotRail confirmed it has barred the use of the 'mosquito' the anti-loitering device installed at stations including Hamilton Central, Helensburgh Central and Aberdeen stations. The device produces a high-frequency sound normally audible to under-25s in a bid to stop them congregating.
