Sad times: TASER-proof gear
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/safety/taser+proof-gear-is-great-for-students-political-activists-criminals-318169.php

(click link to see a picture of the taser-proof jacket)

This patent for an "energy weapon protection device" is the perfect accessory for your next anti-war march. It also might be a good idea to just have one handy for other occasions, too, as you never know when the 5-0 might get a little TASER-happy on you for failing to fully stop at a stop sign or something. These are strange days we live in, my friends.

...

I don't know when it will be available, but it's sad to think this would make a great gift idea for my grandmother or my pregnant friend...or to anyone who doesn't speak English fluently or doesn't present their license and registration as fast as humanly possible or refuses to stop asking questions in public to a Senator....

1. Or anyone who gratuitously uses the term "bro" to address a drooling cop with a taser! nt

3. The clothes would also need to be bulletproof.
When Officer Piggy realizes that his "magic electricity gun" isn't working, he's likely to pull out his sidearm and start blasting.

4. The jacket should come with instructions on how to act like you've been tasered
if your convincing enough, maybe you won't get shot, lol.

6. Unless they make it full body, I doubt it'll do any good.
They'll get you in the thighs, legs, neck, heck I even heard one on the news here a few weeks ago where the guy turned back toward the cop and the taser prong hit him in his open mouth!

7. Are the taser manufacturers making those?
create a need and then exploit it.

8. Next up tasers that go through an energy weapon protection device,
if they don't already have them.
