Time to license TV remotes?

Boston Police report on an incident on Lubec Street in East Boston Sunday morning: A woman rolled up her window at 72 Lubec St. and started screaming at a landscaper that he was making too much noise for a Sunday. Then a man at 85 Lubec St joined the chorus - using a black object to make his point. The landscaper, fearing he was about to get shot, called police. In basic blotterspeak, police report:

Officers conducted a protective sweep inside the apartment and observed a black television remote controller, but no weapon.
