"If you shine this into someone's eyes, you will momentarily disorient them. But unlike the previous flashlight it cannot be used to inflict unintended damage or used to strike someone around the head," LAPD chief William Bratton told a news conference.

The American Civil Liberties Union welcomed the new flashlights, which were purchased by the city for $US1 million and will be distributed to all LAPD officers starting in June.

Did you know that more than 50 incidents involving Los Angeles police using flashlights as weapons have been reported.
