taser
A Taser is a device used by law enforcement to temporarily incapacitate a person. It works by delivering a high-voltage, low-current electrical shock through two small dart-like prongs connected to wires. When deployed, the electrical current disrupts the body's nervous system, causing muscle contraction and pain, which renders the individual unable to continue their actions temporarily. The device is designed to safely subdue persons without causing permanent injury, allowing officers to maintain control and ensure safety during potentially dangerous situations.
