California Legislature Passes Ban on Shock Gloves for Law Enforcement
The measure also bars many current and former immigration agents from state and local jobs and faces a Sept. 30 deadline for Newsom.
- On Monday, the California Legislature passed bills banning law enforcement from using electric-shock gloves and restricting federal immigration agents from holding local government jobs.
- Responding to a Department of Homeland Security plan to purchase 6,000 pairs of the devices for $16.7 million, lawmakers framed the move as defiance against broader federal immigration crackdowns.
- Assemblymember LaShae Sharp-Collins argued technology "must be proven safe" before use, while the California State Sheriffs' Association opposed the measure, citing de-escalation concerns.
- With the legislation now awaiting executive review, Governor Gavin Newsom has until September 30 to sign or veto, while DHS denounced the ban as an attempt to "undermine and endanger" officers.
- Legal experts, including Vikram Amar, suggest the ban may face constitutional challenges, noting California cannot regulate federal officers, similar to previous laws struck down by federal judges.
