Ah, This NG is not dead after all! Shock Collars is the subject.
Despite the subject the collars in this case are not used to shock
dogs but humans, let's say an adult male. You want him to do or not do something you put a shock collar on him and if he disobeys you press a button and he gets a nasty shock. That's the way it works with a dog let's say to control the dog's barking. But the dog has no concept of electricity. He'll stop barking because each time he barks it gives him pain. Stop barking and no more pain. The human at least understands that he pain comes from the collar not from actually doing or not doing some behavior. Naturally the human wants to stop the pain. How can he do so without removing the collar? Presume that the person holding the remote is watching and can apply even more pain with (say) a cattle prod if the victim tries. Or maybe the victim has the opportunity to do something out of sight of his guard. What would he do? The collar is padlocked on and the victim has no appropriate tools. Electrical devices usually require two wires or contacts, positive and negative, to operate. Would shorting out the two poles, with (say) aluminum foil cause the device to become inoperable. Temporarily, i.e, while the aluminum foil is still in contact? Or permanently such as when you short out some delicate electronic device? What effect would water have on the collar? Say while submerged? The box might be waterproof but the contacts have to touch the skin. How about an induced current? I'm not quite sure of my grounds here but I understand that you can create a current in an adjoining wire by simply having a higher voltage line in the proximity? So put your neck against a wire carrying house current and blow the electronics in the collar? Perhaps? Same goes with a perimeter shock system but here if you cover the box part with aluminum foil the signal from the buried wire can't get through. Correct? The human won't even have to worry about contacts. There must be a simple (for humans) way to defeat these devices since to my knowledge they're not used in any prison system to control the inmates. What would it be? Of course the courts may have ruled that they're cruel and unusual punishment so no one bothers trying. If you know of a more appropriate group to ask these questions than here (even a website) that would be useful. |
