California bans officers’ use of electric-shock gloves after ICE reveals plan to equip agents
The GuardianFactual
California has banned local, state and federal law enforcement officers from using electric-shock gloves, effective next year through 2030, after ICE moved to buy 6,000 pairs under a nearly $17m contract. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law, which also requires the state justice department to study the gloves' safety and report to lawmakers by 2029, though legal experts say courts will likely find the state cannot bar federal officers from using them.
