Dear MEL Topic Readers,

BolaWrap: LA police to use ‘Batman-style’ device to snare suspects

The BolaWrap is a hand-held remote restraint device that discharges a 2.4-meter tether at a speed of 150 meters per second to entangle torso or legs at a range of three to 7.6 meters. It’s like a web shooter used by Batman or Spiderman to subdue a bad guy without harming them from a distance. The hand-held remote restraint device has been used by several law enforcement departments across the country. Now, the City of Los Angeles Police Department, more known as LAPD, the third-largest municipal police department in the US after New York (NYPD) and Chicago (CPD), with nearly 10,000 officers is training some officers to use this device from January. Will that help the police officers avoid using lethal weapons? Just like any other weapon or gadget, it could be used by hands of criminals like a kidnapper, rapist, or burglar. At any rate, it may not be so long before you see BolaWrap in a movie.

Enjoy watching the video and learn about this human wrapping gadget.
