Commercial stun-guns are modified and hidden in ordinary objects, as counter-measure to unlawful search and seizure.

Positive points: a) possible using off-the-shelf components

Negative points: a) battery life/maintenance issues. b) likely to cause much concern if scanned c) backfire and collateral damage issues d) unusual approach invites similarly creative response from careerist prosecutors.

       We could have great fun taking only the positive points and negative points, and coming up with new inventions that they could apply to.

       Agreed. Using unusual off-the-shelf components is likely to backfire and invite a seizure response in careerist prosecutors.

       Google is not your friend. [marked-for-deletion] cellphone tasers are commercially available: widely known to exist.

       I don't get how this is an "improvized device;" it seems more like a disguised device. Disguised weapons are illegal almost everywhere, making your "unlawful search and seizure" (wtf?) a very legal S & S. Making or carrying one is just begging to get arrested.

       Would these objects be hidden on ones person? Or within the belongings? I have devised a similar system for my belongings, protecting them from unlawful search by storing them in a tottering and precarious pile with old beverage containers on top, and the possibility of roaches leaping out and getting down those unlawful shirts and trousers.   

       Just a "possibility", mom!
