Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon be outfitted with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks that are intended to gain compliance from combative individuals.
Being wet yourself’ll just reduce your skin’s insulation, pumping yourself with more current. Getting them wet likely won’t bridge a gap between them and the gloves though. Regardless, it isn’t gonna be a whole body shock. Electricity tends towards the path of least resistance, which would be from one terminal/finger to another terminal/finger. The only goal I could see here being to overstimulate a target, because any other goal this could achieve just seems too flawed, even for ICE standards.

Yup, I should have said use water somehow instead but I am old and silly.
