Chair Abreu asks if dynamometers would make confiscation more equitable

So would a tool to objectively measure whether a device is legal make the mayor's confiscation proposal more equitable than reliance on visual inspection only?

You're talking about the dynamo.

I'm getting towards that.

Okay, sure.

No, so...

When it comes to the dynamometer bill,

You know, you are certainly right on the issue, right?

And we think the idea of using this device is very interesting.

It certainly speaks to the challenge that we have in terms of identifying street legal versus street illegal devices.

So that's, I think, very important.

Now, it is new to us.

It is new.

And we do have a lot, a lot of questions about how we would use it.

It's new, I think, to any, it would be new to any major American city.

And so that raises a host of questions in terms of procurement and cost and operationally, sort of operational functionality, right?

How would this work in practice?

How would we actually do it?

And those are a lot of questions.

And just so you know, I'm sure you know this already, the bill that I'm referring to only refers to the use of the technology.

It does not speak to how it gets implemented.

And so it gives the agency, your agency, a lot of discretion on how that gets implemented.

100%.

I do think it's important, right, before we are legislatively mandated to do this, that we first work and work with you and your team and the council to explore these questions and the answers to those questions.

Will you join us for a demonstration of the use of the device?

We're certainly open to do that.

I'll invite you to that.
