Police will soon be outfitted with a cutting edge flashlight that is not only brighter than others, but too small to be used as a weapon. The idea for the 7060 LED flashlight was conceived just days after news cameras broadcast images of LAPD officers beating car-theft suspect Stanley Miller with a two-pound, two-foot long standard issue police flashlight. Police Chief William Bratton banned the large flashlights after Miller's 2004 beating and called for manufacturers to create a smaller, brighter flashlight. The new 10-inch, $100 flashlight was developed and manufactured by the Torrance-based company Pelican to meet LAPD specifications. It will feature both a standard 'patrol mode' and an ultra-light 'tactical mode' that is bright enough to temporarily blind suspects.
