So the gloves are made by company owned by a donor for the child rapist crew

    Fuck it. Bring out the guns.

    No need for guns. Just a bucket of water.

    Is there any way to disrupt or damage these gloves when they're used?

    Might be interesting to see what happens if they grab someone wearing conductive fabric. Give it a path of least resistance that doesn't include the person being groped.

    Nothing would happen... The circuit is between the pads on the gloves, you'd have to complete the circuit going through the brown shirt to do anything unexpected... Which is entirely unfeasible in any real world situation

    If your clothing is conductive, it's just going to mostly flow through your clothing. Depending on thermal properties and how much current these gloves put out, it might heat up the clothing enough to cause burns

    I was thinking more about what would happen with the gloves themselves. Not sure if it'd break them or convert them into high-intensity hand warmers (or your suggestion or nothing, for that matter). Guess I could pick up one of those crappy $10 stun gun flashlight things and see how those respond to a conductor between the prongs but probably won't.

    I mean, I can just tell you

    If you put a conductor between the prongs, it'll complete the circuit. Better than air does, by a lot. Circuit complete. Simple as that

    Where does the heat go? That's the question you should be asking. Thermodynamics aren't a suggestion

    Do you understand what I mean? You should definitely ask follow up questions if you're still unsure about how your little experiment would go

    I take that to mean I'd want to have a heat-insulating layer between the conductive material and my skin in that case to avoid burns. Used to play with disposable camera flash (light, not memory) circuit boards and I broke a few by connecting things that ought not be connected so I've been basing my expectations off of that. Zapped some friends, some friends zapped me, good times were had by all.

    It's the sort of thing that probably won't really click until I've tried it out but I appreciate you giving me some stuff to think about in the meantime.

    Absolutely, and I largely understand this because I experimented, don't forget the battery

    The gloves, and any taser, should have some kind of cutoff. But if they didn't and you dropped something like a perfect sheet of graphene between the contacts?

    Something will melt in the circuit, if it's not in the conductor it's going to be in the battery

    Okay, that's the sort of catastrophic failure I was hoping for. Lowest-bidder junk might skimp on the safety features, especially if they don't think the people buying them will care enough to check. Also why my test plan involves pushing the button with a stick so I'm not holding it when the angry pixies come out to play.

    Not really. They're water resistant. Like, they say not to dunk it in water, but also that it won't shock the wearer if it gets wet.

    Defensive measures are possible: It won't work through thick clothing as well.

    Chainmail will work (with a grounding element). Electricity conductive plastics (like mylar) or metals in the clothing that won't be too torn can also work.

    In general the goal is to make it so the path of least resistance to the ground is not through you.

    At least that's what I'd say off my experience using electricity to induce pain in people recreationally

    Just think hit many orioles healthcare that could cover instead. Or if that were put towards solving affordability issues. It’s almost like this administration has wildly different priorities.

    Isn't this like a stun gun, but worse because you have to get into physical contact?

    The goal of stun guns is to lock the victims muscles up so they can't move. These gloves don't appear to do that and according to the manual someone else can be holding the victim while they are being used. The primary purpose of these gloves seems to be to cause pain. From their manual:

    CD3s function by over-stimulating the sense of touch within the Peripheral Nervous System which causes Neuro Peripheral Interference or NPI. CD3 technology delivers a pain stimulus strictly to the area of the epidermis contacted by the CD3

    The manual specifically says not to use them for torture but you know it definitely will be.

    It also says not to apply it for more than 12seconds or to the throat, groin or face but considering it takes 2 hands to (de)activate it I don't see the piggies taking their hands off the victim to comply with that.

    There are many practices that police and prisons routinely use in the US that are internationally recognized as torture

    Also, the US just froze the assets of two ICC judges that worked on the case to create an arrest warrent for Israel's Prime Minister.

    The US is a rogue terrorist State that is profiting from Genocide and routinely commits crimes against humanity by torturing their citizens and non-citizens.

    What happens if you dump a bucket of water on someone wearing these?

    To help them catch "the worst of the worst". That's the official party line. Everybody knows it's a lie. Every fucking body knows they're lying. Those who earnestly say they're hunting down the worst of the worst are full of shit. Everyone knows it's a fucking lie. And yet this lie will be used to ease America in to rounding up all the immigrants into death camps. Trump supporters believe that if you, or your parents, have broken the law, you deserve to be executed without trial. Unless you're rich and powerful, apparently. The law is a sacred cow, it doesn't matter how you've broken the law, if you've broken the law you deserve to be murdered. But it's okay for criminals to be in charge of the entire country somehow. Those crimes don't count for some god forsaken reason. I've been awake fir 12 hours and only got 3 hours sleep last night.
