Natural News -

It’s like something ripped right out of a dystopian futuristic sci-fi novel: A  U.S. patent has been uncovered that describes electronic handcuffs capable of  delivering torturous electroshocks, “gas injections” and injectable “chemical  restraints” to prisoners who wear them. The cuffs can be remote-controlled by  prison guards, cops or MPs to deliver stronger or weaker electroshocks as  desired… or even chemical injections.
The device is described in U.S.  patent application number 20120298119, and the three people behind its  invention are Reese; Corbin; (Scottsdale, AZ) ; Pegg; Donald L.; (Chandler,  AZ) ; Lockwood; Lucius L.; (Phoenix, AZ)
As described in the patent  application (bold added):
Embodiments of the restraining device of the  present invention includes a restraint for physically constraining movement of  at least a portion of a detainee’s body; an electric shock component coupled to  the restraint; and a control system coupled to the electric shock component, the  control system configured to cause the electric shock component to deliver a  shock to the detainee when a predetermined condition occurs. The restraining  device may be any device capable of being attached to a detainee and restraining  at least a portion of the detainee’s body, and in various implementations may  include at least one of: a handcuff; an ankle cuff; a restraining belt; a  straightjacket; a harness; a facial restraint; a helmet; and a neck collar; and  combinations thereof.

Combined with RFID to deliver proximity electroshocks

The handcuffs are  able to deliver electroshock torture in combination with RFID chips that  determine the distance between prisoners and weapons or other objects. If the  prisoner wearing the cuffs approaches too closely to an RFID-equipped object,  they are electro-shocked.
As the patent describes:
…if a  weapon is equipped with an RFID or other identification device, sensors in the  restraining device may transmit a signal and receive a response signal  indicating that a weapon is in a predetermined the proximity, and if the  detainee does not move away from the weapon to cause the response signal to fall  below a predetermined threshold, a shock will be administered.
