ICE’s Shock Gloves Spark Debate | Durham News

ICE is rolling out $20 million worth of electric shock gloves—called G.L.O.V.E.—designed to help officers subdue resistant individuals, especially those who are smaller or less physically able. Made by Compliant Technologies, the devices deliver a bee-sting-like pain stimulus and have already been used in jails and by police departments. But civil rights groups, including the ACLU, are sounding the alarm, warning of potential misuse and questioning whether such force is necessary for immigration enforcement. While manufacturers insist the gloves should only be used on violent suspects or dangerous inmates—and not on children or the elderly—concerns remain over oversight and training. Some see promise if properly regulated, but the debate over their use is just beginning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
