California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill banning law enforcement officers in the state from using electrical shock gloves, also known as 'pain compliance' tools. The gloves, which function similarly to tasers at a lower voltage, have been condemned by human rights groups as 'inherently abusive equipment that facilitates torture'. ICE recently purchased about 6,000 pairs of the gloves for $16.7 million. The ban will go into effect in 2027.
