ICE’s $20M Electric Shock Gloves | Tech News
Description
ICE is spending up to $20 million by March on new electric-shock gloves called GLOVE, designed to subdue suspects without lethal force. Made by Compliant Technologies, these gloves use Neuro-Peripheral Interference to overload nerve endings, causing pain and muscle lock-up in under three seconds—without leaving marks. Officers feel nothing, and the device logs activation for accountability. Gen 4 and 5 models even include a self-test feature. Strict rules limit use to arms and legs only, banning use on heads, chests, or vulnerable populations. Critics worry the tech’s focus on pain may blur the line between restraint and punishment.
