Earlier this year, investors filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing company executives of overstating the devices’ capabilities and claiming that “Evolv does not reliably detect knives or guns.”

It’s fraud. The company knows it’s unreliable and the investors know it’s unreliable, I wonder why NYC is still going to expand the trial run? 🤔

[Mayor] Adams has touted the Massachusetts-based company since taking office in 2022.

To be fair, he’s also a former cop. He’s also under indictment for fraud so take that for what it’s worth
