Criminals now practice ways of defeating the Taser. The most common method we've seen is baggy clothes (they increase the distance between the probe and the skin) and trying to roll out of it and break at least one of the wires which renders it useless. You don't have to pull the probes out, just break one of the wires. Some of our BG's have gotten pretty good at it but nothing works 100% of the time. Still, they practice and they realize the limitations of the weapon.
There was a line of clothing being advertised a while back which was supposed to contain a foil or a mesh that defeated the Taser. I'm not sure who makes it or if they are still being offered for sale but the reports I read on line seemed to indicate that it worked.
