New Freeport Lamp Turns Night Watch Into Beam Weapon
A new lantern used by Freeport night police resembles a cross between a police club and a horse pistol. Measuring fourteen inches by one and a quarter, it fires a powerful light ray to deter criminals and illuminate dark alleys and rooms. The device aims at a suspect’s face before triggering the beam to startle and deter, serving primarily as a search tool in darkness.
