"Police across the country are noticing that more and more crimes are being committed with illegal stun guns, designed to cause temporary paralysis.
The weapons that are turning up on the streets don't look like the ones police forces in Canada use. They're smaller, about the size of a cell phone and the electricity comes from two prongs on top which can pack 300,000 volts, enough to disable anyone who gets zapped. "
