Countermeasures against the weapon could be quite straightforward — for example covering up the body with thick clothes or carrying a metallic sheet — or even a trash can lid — as a shield or reflector.Also unclear is how the active-denial technology would work in rainy, foggy or sea-spray conditions where the beam's energy could be absorbed by water in the atmosphere.

I don't see how there could be any objections to it. If it really doesn't do any harm to anyone, but can incapacitate them, surely it would be preferable to using bullets and killing people.... wouldn't it?
