The company that produces these devices advises against their use on vulnerable groups. These groups include small children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those described as “severely handicapped.” In 2024, a person was observed wearing a shock glove at the Oklahoma County Detention Center in Oklahoma City. This incident was reported by Nathan J. Fish for USA Today Network via Reuters Connect.
In August 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are set to integrate a new tool into their enforcement practices. These gloves, capable of delivering painful electric shocks, will join the existing arsenal alongside firearms, stun guns, and pepper spray. According to the Department of Homeland Security, this is intended as a key nonlethal option for law enforcement.
However, there is concern among advocates over the misuse of enforcement tools by ICE officers. Previous instances have led to serious and, in some cases, lethal outcomes. These concerns highlight the need for strict regulation and oversight in the use of such potentially dangerous devices.
