What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Los Angeles City Council voted 10-4 to overrule the approval of a 10-year, $235-million contract between the Los Angeles Police Department and Axon Enterprise. The agreement was intended to supply the LAPD with automated license plate readers, body-worn cameras, and new Tasers. The council delayed the deal citing concerns about the potential misuse of the technology by police officers.

The decision halts a major procurement deal for surveillance technology, reflecting the City Council's regulatory power over the LAPD's equipment purchases. The contract, which was sought by the LAPD to locate fugitives and stolen vehicles, is now on hold until officials ensure the technology is used responsibly.
