These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

There really ought to be a penalty of some kind when the federal government routinely loses cases on the same issue. If you robbed 50 people and got caught 45 times, and the only penalty for getting caught was having to return the money, it would be in everyone's interest to rob people all the time.
