Futuristic Handcuffs Would Administer Shocks, Drugs
CNet
December 11, 2012
Sometimes an invention comes along that makes you excited about the future.
For a long time, it seems that handcuffs have been stuck in the movies of old. They restrain you, but, odd for our interactive world, that’s all they seem to do.
Might I tempt you toward futuristic handcuffs that will offer you a small involuntary judder?
I am grateful to Gizmodo for discovering that Patent Bolthas lucked upon a patent that offers bound(less) excitement.
For these are handcuffs that offer surprises. Indeed, they might make the idea of being tased, bro, not quite so bad.
The patent is called “Apparatus and System For Augmented Detainee Restraint.”
These shocks might be “activated by internal control systems or by external controllers that transmit activation signals to the restraining device.”The augmentations it offers are truly quite something. You see, these handcuffs are “configured to administer electrical shocks when certain predetermined conditions occur.”
This progressive tool is the brainchild of Scottsdale Inventions.
And while you might be shocked or even excited by the idea of handcuffs with electric shock capabilities, might I move you further?
For Patent Bolt points out that this patent also allows for the idea of a substance delivery system. Yes, these handcuffs might also be used to, well, inject the detained with who knows what — to achieve “any desired result.”
Clearly, the desires of the detained and the detainer might differ. Yet, this patent allows for the possibility of the substance being in the form of “a liquid, a gas, a dye, an irritant, a medication, a sedative, a transdermal medication or transdermal enhancers such as dimethyl sulfoxide, a chemical restraint, a paralytic, a medication prescribed to the detainee, and combinations thereof.”
Yes, you really did read the word “paralytic.”
