We are proud to share that in the premiere episode of Contraband: Seized at Sea on the Discovery Channel, PepperBall non-lethal solutions played a crucial role in a dramatic rescue mission. In this intense scenario, agents faced a perilous situation involving a boat filled with migrants taking on water. Amid the chaos, a trafficker resorted to using a child as a human shield, creating an extremely dangerous and sensitive situation. The agents had to act swiftly and decisively with limited options to ensure the safety of all involved. PepperBall provided the optimal solution. By deploying PepperBall projectiles, the agents were able to safely and effectively overpower the trafficker without causing harm. This allowed them to free the child and disable the boat's engine, enabling the safe rescue of the migrants and the arrest of the smugglers. This pivotal intervention turned a potentially tragic scenario into a successful rescue operation. This episode is a testament to the effectiveness and importance of non-lethal solutions in law enforcement operations. PepperBall is dedicated to equipping law enforcement professionals with tools that prioritize safety and minimize harm. We invite you to watch this episode and see firsthand the difference that PepperBall makes in critical situations.

Consider this: constructing a typical 50-story condo might cost a developer $200 million and take 2.5 years to complete. Renting out 500 units at $3,000 each would generate $1.5 million per month, but it would take 11 years to break even. Now, compare that with building 500 Boxabl Casitas at $50,000 each, totaling $25 million, plus a 250,000-square-foot parking garage at $20 million. This $45 million project could be completed in just six months. As a developer, a $45 million investment with a six-month timeline offers the same returns as a $200 million project over 30 months while paying for itself in 2.5 years. Modular construction is set to revolutionize the industry, empowering developers with moderate working capital to compete with those holding major capital reserves.

+++++++++++++++++++++ CAPTAIN’S LOG, San Diego date 10232024: After extensive exploration of the area, I found that unlike my time in Virginia, I couldn’t seem to discover any local life forms willing to engage in the ever-growing-in-popularity and noble sport of pickleball. Desperation mounted… until I had an epiphany: I’m the commanding officer, I can just order them to play. And so, a rigorous command physical training session was held on the pickleball court. The crew valiantly participated (because, well, they had no choice. And, see! they don’t look like they’re being held hostage at all!) Unfortunately, I still can’t order them to like me. Conclusion: Authority has its limits. But, it felt great to be back on the court again. +++++++++++++++++++++
