A sensor detects how well embedded the probe is in the target's flesh after impact is detected, and if it doesn't have a good bite, a mild burst of compressed gas in the base of the probe drives it in a few mm deeper before discharging.

Ow.

Does the sensor distinguish between, say, a man in a navy-surplus greatcoat, Nehru jacket, waistcoat, three sweaters, button-down shirt, wetsuit, rash-vest and singlet and, on the other hand, a walrus?

Just me, but no other being has the right to penetrate my flesh with anything without my consent.

Well not 'just' me, but I'm in that mix somewhere.

Figure out how to electrify from a distance and keep sepsis inducing elements out of non-lethal enforcement of arbitrary rules.

M'kay?

2 fries, this could be used to protect yourself non-lethally FROM those who would seek to so violate your anatomical integrity.

Using violence to prevent violence? If you love all men equally doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Yeah but they can't uphold their ideals if you kill them.

Happy to be of service.

If everyone was nice to each other the world would be a better place.

2 Fries, let me see if I understand you correctly. You support permissive gun ownership laws, because you have the right to not only penetrate the flesh of someone who's attacking you, but their organs and potentially bones as well. But these tiny little Taser probes, that's where you draw the line?

If "electrocute" were cognate with "meet-cute", would that make this idea better, worse or about the same?

Probably worse.
