LOS ANGELES - With 49 people killed last year after being shocked by Tasers, police departments across the United States are trying out a"Spider-Man"-like device that fires a tether that entangles and restrains the suspect.
"This tool fits perfectly into that gap giving the officers another option to use before having to use that high level of force to end that conversation very early, very safely," he said. The Bolawrap is a little bit larger than a cell phone and designed to fit easily onto a police belt. The synthetic fibre tether exits the device at about 200m per second.He said he has demonstrated the device to dozens of police departments in the United States, as well as in Australia and New Zealand.
