Why make these devices be manually triggered by someone? The first thing I thought of is if you "had" to have a shock system in place, why not make it like an "invisible fence" for a dog. I get wanting to protect everyone in the court but having this be manually triggered will always lead to abuse.
It would only trigger if the person in question were to actually attempt to harm another and leave their designated area or if they somehow raised their voice higher than a set dB level (Dog barking shock collar type).
Obviously have manual override to turn it OFF when it malfunctions but do not let someone manually be able to turn it ON.
Not advocating for treating people like dogs, however this would be more reactionary to a situation rather than leaving the control be in the hands of a person who may make decisions based on personal preference or emotion.
- arcticbull 7y ago> Not advocating for treating people like dogs, however... It's like saying "I'm not racist but..." -- you are in fact advocating treating people like dogs. There are other solutions to this, as evidenced by it being illegal in all of Europe and Europe and the United Nations pushing to make it illegal in the rest of the world.
- pcstl 7y agoEurope's solution to this is glass cages. I'm not sure that's much better on the "not treating people like dogs" scale.
