California bans police use of electric shock gloves
Original: Newsom signs California law banning officers from using gloves that deliver electric shocks
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law banning law enforcement officers in the state from using gloves that deliver electric shocks. The legislation makes California the first state to prohibit the devices, which deliver shocks through the fingertips and have raised concerns about excessive force. Supporters say the move curbs a painful and potentially dangerous policing tool.
Why now: Newsom's decision signals a significant state-level restriction on police equipment amid ongoing national debate over law enforcement tactics.
