California bans police use of electric shock gloves
Original: New California law bans officers from using gloves that deliver electric shocks
California has enacted a new law prohibiting law enforcement officers from using gloves that deliver electric shocks. The measure bans the devices, sometimes described as stun gloves, from being used by officers in the state. Supporters frame it as a step to limit painful force tactics by police, while the practical effect on how officers respond during arrests remains to be seen.
Why now: Lawmakers moved to restrict a controversial less-lethal policing tool, prompting attention to police use-of-force practices.
