Run from the cops with taser-proof clothing

Vyralize: If you like breaking the law…err I mean “bending the rules”, here’s a little a little trick Hackaday’s shenzhen discovered. He figured out that lining clothes with strips of carbon fiber can actually be a suitable barrier to prevent being shocked by a taser or stun gun.

Lol, I'm surprised this is legal

Ripco_Keller3692d ago

It's neither perfect nor all that helpful in illegal situations. Basically, if a cop tries to tase you and it doesn't work, they have to resort to their other, more lethal options. Also, clothing which helps prevent electrical shock is a boon to plenty of legitimate, legal professions and hobbies which a stupid law prohibiting its use would endanger needlessly.

if the cop uses his taser and it doesn't work, he can just reach for his pepper spray

Slappy McGee3692d ago

"just reach for his pepper spray"

Yeah right, you're going to get shot.

DuB3692d ago

lol you must first deploy a smoke bomb.

RetrospectRealm3692d ago

I assume it costs too much for the common criminal. Anyways, I wonder who was the guy who was willing to test this out. Lol

SilentNegotiator3692d ago

Great, so the cop will think that you're super high and reach for his gun.

mushroomwig3692d ago

"He's super high, better shoot him"

What?

fr0sty3692d ago

They don't care what you're wearing, if they think you're high, they'll blast you real quick. Kinda like how this naked, unarmed kid found out...

I said REACH for their gun, not immediately empty a clip on you.

And it depends on the situation. What exactly you're fleeing from, how the cop and the runner are situated at the time, etc.

But if they think for even a second that you might turn around (and non-lethal isn't even remotely affecting you), they WILL at least ready their gun.

This is best utilized in combination with the anti-attack dog shroud, the K9nomore, comes in a variety of sizes and colors.

Now all we need now is a portable high volisity magnetic resonance device to repel bullets😯
