So if I buy the gloves and use them to shock a police officer, it’s great, right? There’s no evidence and it’s humane, safe, and completely unregulated? I’m just wearing a pair of my favorite gloves and waving my hands in the air as I walk forward, and if anyone gets tased it’s their own fault!

Compliant Technologies was founded in 2018 by Jeff Niklaus, a former Army Blackhawk helicopter pilot in Afghanistan and Somalia, who believes that President Donald Trump has been “anointed” by God. He is also a sometime conspiracy theorist: In a podcast interview in 2025, he blamed the fatal crash of a passenger plane and a military helicopter on “the vaccines,” and on the Biden administration’s inclusion of women and LGBTQ people in the military.

I read about gloves like these in Shadowrun novels. This is giving torment nexus vibes.
