Teen Arrested For Modifiying Camera Into Taser
CLINTON, Conn. (AP) ― A 14-year-old student at Morgan School in Clinton is facing a weapons charge, accused of tinkering with a disposable camera to make it capable of zapping people with an electrical charge.

Police say the camera, modified according to instructions available on the Internet, had been converted into an improvised electronic demobilizing device similar to a Taser.

Police say the student never managed to use the device because a teacher intervened.

School Resource Officer Kyle Strunjo says the makeshift device is potentially capable of a 600-volt shock.

Yes like sign him up for electronics study.

Also the police could save thousands by emulating what this child did. The average Tazer cost $1200!!! I bet this cost much, much less, eh?

except that as I understand "real" ones are unique and identifiable, as far as who's taser hit whom.
