The LAPD has purchased controversial mass surveillance software that allows police to track individuals using geolocation data.
The company that provides the software, called WebLoc, is Cobwebs Technologies. Each contract costs around $200,000 per year.
Cobwebs' system has two main platforms. The first is Tangles, which allows users to search the open web, social media, dark web, and deep web. The second is WebLoc, a location intelligence system that allows law enforcement to track individuals' geolocation data.
