ABSTRACT

Currently the police officers use a variety of electroshock devices to control people through the power supply, including electrical contact shields, devices whose purpose is to protect the user rather than the attack. The effect of exposure to external sources of electricity can cause injury by altering the normal electrical functions of the human body. Should be understood that there are risk factors, multiple variables impossible to control by users of the devices: uncontrollable factors that increase the intensity and duration of exposure to the current electric, such as injuries caused by falling of the person to the ground and potential risk factors (previous heart disease, intoxication, etc.) that may be unfamiliar by police officers when used with either with one or more people, and they can endanger the life of the person or people receiving the shock. In the scene, this shield becomes a physical clue to be protected and properly taken up considering that it may be decisive for the clarification of the issues, requiring therefor proper chain of custody. However, the very little research on harmful to health by discharges of electrical shields, causes no standards for the protection and safety in relation to its use to be known by the researchers who attend a scene where these devices are possible located, except for the standards of protection for any electrical equipment. The expert analysis requires assessing evidence with rigor criticism to establish and rebuild the mechanism and dynamics of the issue, indicating whether or not this device was used, providing evidence for the identification of the author.
