Evolv Deceives Parents
Evolv is actively deceiving parents, a new step in the company's campaign to block the truth from being told about its various deficiencies.
This comes as Evolv's business is being driven by school sales, where parents are looking to keep children safe and administrators are willing to spend millions of dollars (of taxpayer money) to do so.
In this report, IPVM examines Evolv's guide for parents, how Evolv deceives parents, Evolv's new emphasis on detecting "mass harm" weapons, and why this follows a pattern of Evolv misleading the public.
