New Weapon Against Terror: LED Incapacitator Flashlight
LED Incapacitator (LEDI) from Intelligent Optical Systems.
United States Homeland Security has paid a technology group almost $1 million to develop a next generation weapon, an LED Incapacitator (LEDI) for police and officials to use against rioting crowds or protesters.
Homeland Security has paid $800,000 to Intelligent Optical Systems to develop this LEDI and already law enforcement officials are calling it “controversial." ACLU officials are comparing it to the highly controversial Taser.
It was developed to handle protesters without using bullets, pepper spray, rubber bullets or Tasers.
Bob Lieberman, president of Intelligent Optical Systems, spoke to CBS13 reporter Brandi Hitt, saying the moment the flashlight is on, it will cause disorientation. Thus, it will be easy for the police to disable rowdy protesters quickly to make an arrest or to manage a crowd.
The LEDI causes nausea, dizziness and severe headache, as Hitt learned after being exposed to a LEDI on a trial basis. She said watching this in-person is irritating and will disorient you.
Lieberman said the LEDI flashes lights at several specific frequencies. It does not let the brain get used to a pattern, so it varies the frequencies rapidly. It also gives off multiple colors and random pulses. The cumulative effect makes a person disoriented.
Lieberman said the only way to escape these effects is to:
Close your eyes, put your hand up, turn your head away, all of which will give the user the advantage they need,"
U.S. Homeland Security wants to provide this device to the Coast Guard, Security Service, Border Patrol and Air Marshals. Los Angeles County Police will also be equipped with this device soon.
As CBS reports:
Commander Sid Hale with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department helped design the device over the last three years, and says this is something all law enforcement wants, especially at night and for crowd control, so they don't have to pull their guns.This technology can also be extended from a gun-type device to be used in a variety of situations including in prisons to qualm riots and on vehicles to stop unruly mobs.
Others like ACLU’s Michael Soller, however, say if a user is not trained properly, the LEDI will become as lethal as Tasers, which have killed more than 300 people in the past few years according to the ACLU.
Lieberman said it will not blind a person, as it has built-in measures that prevent the light from going beyond a present threshold. Medical safety tests are already underway, and law enforcement field trials will likely start later this year.
Initially the LEDI will be available for law enforcement but later Intelligent Optical Systems may make this device available to the public. Already some are worried that it may be used by criminals.
You can see the main demonstration in a video here. The above video gives brief highlights of LEDI.
