California bans police Electric-shock gloves

Sep 29

Goodman reports California's ban on local, state and federal law enforcement using gloves that deliver painful electric shocks to people in custody. She says it takes effect next year and lasts until 2030. As context, she recalls August reporting that ICE would spend up to $20 million on thousands of the gloves, made by Lexington, Kentucky-based Compliant Technologies, and says police departments and jails have used them in recent years. No completed ICE purchase is established by this passage.
