    Police flashlight-use controversy in Los Angeles

    After a highly publicized allegation that a Los Angeles police officer had used a Maglite as an impact tool, the Los Angeles Police Department announced a move toward smaller, lighter LED flashlights that were less suitable for use as batons. The controversy concerned policing policy and alleged misuse by an individual officer, not a reported corporate finding against Mag Instrument.
