  • no shit electricity can harm you!?

    yea especially when a police man fires however many volts into your body, but a small shock from a double a, really! thats not a stun gun or a dangerous weapon

  • Appearently these Rent-A-Cops know NOTHING about amperage. This has a SLIGHT bigger shock than those prank toys do.

  • @XHyperxNovaX And @all other copsupportersofthisincident, you can see the father shocking himself in the news report to demonstrate (He pulls his hand away, but doesn't seem to be having a god damn heart attack).

  • I made one kakakaka

  • So yes it's one thing to make one as a science project as a high voltage source, but it's quite another to do what the video description says "and attempted to fire it at another student". That could have injured his classmate, or ( if it was applied to the wrong part of his chest) it could have even killed his classmate. Yes indeed, that was very dumb and dangerous, and the kid deserves to spend a night or to in a jail cell for reckless endangerment.

  • At 300 volts, and a 100uF capacitor, these are more dangerous than police taser. At 300 volts the skin will break down allowing a small current to flow, which (in addition to a mild shock) will heat the skin melting a pinpoint sized hole at the point of contact. Then the resistence is maybe 1000 to 10000 ohms, and the capacitor will discharge faster (though not a complete discharge like with the flash tube), and deliver a fatal current. It can indeed be used to kill a person.

  • omfg give him a fucking nobel price he mad a stun gun out of a DIPOSABLE CAMERA! FTW!!!

  • wtf! I have seen teachers make camera stun guns at school to amuse idiots. this is no crime just harmless fun

  • So barbie cameras arent toys huh

  • WTF! This just gives you a little shock that you might get in a shock pen. maybe even less. I know from experience

  • @TheMightyMagic yeah right i shocked the fuck out of my arm and leg too,with that.the way it looks shows that it i s dangerous,can even blow 5A fuses too

  • come on kids do that ALL the time like i made a stun gun, flamethrower , halo + gears of war armor, pipe cannon ,and a gun out of pop cap guns so i must be life sentenced ?!?! come on what are you gonna do no one ever gets hurt and if they did they probably deserve it

  • oh shit! I`ll go to jail!

  • XD man i made this and took it to school, shit i didnt even get talked to, it just got taken away lol

  • man Cops are looking more and more like fucking retards these days

  • That MIGHT be able to stun a rabbit. Maybe.

  • fuck the police they ruin everyone's fun

  • You're not allowed to bring a weapon into school. If you alter a camera into a taser, you've just brought a weapon. Law. Learn it.

  • this must be the kid of that guy named KipKay

  • As a nerd... Please other nerds don't become the bullies you hate in school.

    Sure it's ok to make a teaser gun to defend yourself in bad situations. But just use it when you can't avoid a fight or any other kind of heavy agression...

  • woulda been ironic if he resisted arrest and got tased O_o

  • X'D

  • im 14 and i have done that it dont shock u that much and 1 of my teachers has a shock pen that he made and let the kids who want to shock them with it got to and that shock me more

  • @wasssuppp08 look on youtube...it's EVERYWHERE

  • thats a typical act of law enforcement on nothing to make the law enforcements crimes look like responsible and unavoidable acts... in this case: tasering people for nothing and getting away with it.

    let me explain a similar thing.

    here in germany politicians try to enforce laws an data collectors (like google) to cover up their *own* greed for collecting data of the people - its the very same thing.

  • LOL! I guess he was charged with....BATTERY

  • Bull shit! Next they will say licking a 9 volt batter is a suicide attempt.Im pro police NORMALLY but this aint normal.

  • sounds like something that i would do... i feel sorry for the kid...

  • Give him a scholarship to MIT, not charge him.

  • Electricity is not dangerous. The proof is that the cops are tasering for everyting. It's not dangerous, otherwise police would not use it.

    You see the cop double language. In their hands,it is a safe tool to subdue someone and in the kid's hand it become very, very, very dangerous.

    When they want to get someone, they are ready for what ever it takes. Dont they have criminals to catch.

  • Must be a real slow ass fucking month at the Police Squad.

  • Zero tolerance = Zero common sense. Put that on a tee shirt

  • Nice, catching a 14 year old innocent boy who used a gun that can barely stun, cool fucking fat ass cops, catch a real criminal, thats like killing your brother cause someone robbed him, doing the opposite, lol

  • lmfao u cant even stun a dog with this hahaha!!!

    police suck, seriously.

  • lol i saw this on manswers and shocked my buddy with it his leg went up high and laughed his ass off

  • ummm the us is that bad.... wtf canada ftw alot better then us lol if ur under like 16 u cant be charge with bullshit like that like dosint make sents anyone that knows how the hell one aa battery can hurt some on to the point that u can it assault like wtf..

  • "No one was hurt in the incident"

    No idiot, no one can get hurt from a AA battery.

  • shit like this never happens in europe... and when it does nobody ever hears about it... why? because THEY DONT HAVE A FUCKED UP PRUDISH "SAFTEY FIRST SAFTEY FIRST SOCIETY LIKE US

  • nooby teachers i made 1, it's just a cheap option to electric pen which i have bought to school

  • ha My friend brought one of those to school. Fuunn Y!

  • What dumb fucking hipocrisy, stupid frickin coppers, that capacitor stores only like 3joules thats fucking bullshit! Yet nothing happens when they TAZE people to death, with actual tazers that produce like 100 kv at 5 ma

  • oh whaaaaaaa the police cries.... fucking bullies like they are the "only"ones that don't have a problem putting someone down with a tazer

  • The cop was right. Electrical injuries happen all the time. He simply forgot to mention that the police are largely responsible for several of those instances due to the fact that, since police don't exhibit civility as their strong point, they would rather use brute force and intimidation to make their points; often employing the tazer as a means of fear and control. Even if not fired, they sometimes draw it for shock and awe purposes.

  • In a country that allows gun ownership, one person is in shit for having a camera... Yay America!

  • i made these to shock ppl all the time in school. all you do is expose the wires that go to the flash lolol

  • ya and then the cops use thiers till you are dead and claim you resisted arrest,,,,while handcuffed and face down,, comeon get a life cops. just a little kid whos smarter than you are,,and it didnt take much either.

  • oh god, those things hurt like hell, I got 3 burns from something like that 6 years ago

  • holy shit it was just a AA battery

  • omg those police must work in a boring town that they have to make up several bs charges on a minor for sumthing so stupid

  • I wonder how many illegal aliens drove by while they were waisting time filming this bs

  • hahahaha!, The police taser people and stop their hearts all the time. This kid plays with a camera and they freak. How backwards is that?

  • You can possibly kill with this the capacitor can multiply the electricitys power to the extent of 120v +

  • This is fake.

  • @zynthesis ???? dude i live in ceneticut and saw this on tv its not fake you dumb fuck so stfo nigger

  • @bonyfingers13 You are obviously a english major so, you should know this is fake.

  • usually these fire 1 time. not like a stun gun. which is AC (alternating current) not one charged up shock

  • @skwerl23 on a second note, these camera's shock at about the same as a "electric pack of gum" practical joke. or something like that. no biggy. unfortunately undereducated adults make decisions that will ruin this kids life for no reason.

  • As a hobby I fart around with electronics. I made one out of a $4 Fuji camera and the little stinker only worked twice before overheating and self destructing. But as far as being called a "stun gun" it does below average in that area. It is more like an advanced version of the electric pen or joy buzzer. But be careful playing with large voltage capacitors there are some rare cases that can kill a person.

  • Obv nobody was injured a touched one of these things nd it dosnt even hurt yuu ideots police are just retards mahn

  • gosh thts a load of shit cops are so fuckin retarded sometimes

  • okay... the kid was stupid to bring it into school... but come on... ive made one of those... they sting, but come on, ASSAULT? seriously?

  • I done the same thing when I was a kid, but I removed the 330 volt capacitor. Soldered wires to the circuit board and attached alligator clips to the opposite end of the wires. So that I could charge the capacitor. After charging the capacitor I would say "here catch" and throw it to an unsuspecting classmate shocking their hand when they caught it. Needless to say I made a few people mad. I didn't get into much trouble, much less charged with a crime. Over kill in my opinion.

  • if all the electrical potential was discharged from a AA battery with enough amps could be lethal, but not from what was demonstrated in this case.

  • I thought of this idea years ago i should of pattent it or something lol im good with electronics and made one of these at band camp i never new someone else had the same idea as me to make a taser out of a camera lmao;)

  • i saw how to do that on manswers

  • <-- if these kids and their parents were smart, they would get the scientific documentation to prove this, and sue the SHIT out of those douchebag pigs. life must be pretty boring around there if the cops have nothing better to do than charge kids of idiotic crap that they didnt do, including attempted assault?! lol wtf is this world coming to?

  • A plastic bag is dangerous, a sharpened pencil is dangerous, your bare hands are dangerous, crossing the street is dangerous. a disposable camera is dangerous. Should you be charged with a crime for having and or using any of these things? lol Pigs are assholes. And try testing out a police stun gun, then see which one is deadly. A disposable camera will not kill you, i dont care what heart conditions you may or may not have. Its not enough amps. -->

  • Electricity is very dangerous! But its not volts that kill you. You could have right up to about 3 million volts for hours and it wont kill you. Its AMPs that are dangerous. The amperage will shut your heart down

  • actualy that is true only to a degree. it you ge shoched by 3 million volts at even .00001 miliamps you are dead.

  • Actually, you're both wrong. It takes about 500ma of DC current to cause fibrillation. So how much voltage it would take is determined by the resistance of the skin and other stuff. As for the stun gun, a flash capacitor is not like a stun gun that is usually limited to about 2 ma. A flash capacitor can probably discharge at a ridiculously lethal current.

  • What you said is 50x more than what in takes to stop a heart. 60 volts at 10 ma is leathal

  • Putting aside the fact that both of you comment are contradictory, you're still wrong. The values are high for DC current because the heart is less affected by it. For AC it would take as little has 100ma for the average person. Also voltage has almost nothing to do with it other than being of function of the skin's resistance at the time. That's why they use conductive gel on defibs. Otherwise, it would take thousands of volts for defibs to work.

  • Umm this is a joke right ? Compare this to the taser cops use , this isn't even a taser , its the inside of a disposable camera!!! So if i open up my pc i can be charged with possession of a dangerous weapon? Maybe people who eat with cutlery should be arrested then?

  • FUCKIN PIGS

  • These cameras use capacitors to produce a very short lived but powerful charge. I've accidentally shocked my self with one before and it hurts alot. Some people with heart problems could die from that. In my opinion he should have had been given a warning from police, I think expelling him and charging him with a crime is way too over the top.

  • If electricity can harm you and is SOOO DANGEROUS, why don't officers ever use discretion in discharging their multi million volt tazers into the chests of old ladies?

    the capaciter in a disposable camera is, if memory serves correct, 330,000. Used one to make a re-usable rocket ignitor when i was a teen

    no where near the level of a tazer

  • Yea STUNT GUN with 1 AA battery

    and boy is charged with Attempted assault

    COME ON PEOPLE CATCH REAL CRIMINALS

  • lol freedom my ass huh u cant evin give each other a shock anymore.

  • @byrjyu take apart a disposable camera and touch the little black battery next to the flash then think about your response

  • This society has become pathetic so where a little fun with zero real harm is deemed a crime.

    that cop is a joke!

    absolutely No practical sense.

  • if this is illegal shouldnt bug zappers b too? bout the same volts lmfao stupid cops

  • police are going a lil too far protecting the peaple ^^

  • these arnt even tasers really there less than 400volts but babys can get hurt keep these away from children only people with weak hearts can get hurt teens are finewiththem u can shockteens its a crime to taser someone when no damad acurres

  • So, a boy who tries to shock a friend with a camera is a criminal. And yet, police officers taser people with 50,000 volts needlessly all the time and face no charges.

    I saw a cop who tasered an old bitchy woman just because she was lipping him off. I saw another guy who was in handcuffs on the ground who was tasered. And let's not forget the fellow at Vancouver airport who was tasered in THE BACK and died.

    Who are the real criminals here people? Who is REALLY causing terror amongst citizens?

  • @MrJohnnyOldschool: the hand cuff one depends on why the person was in handcuffs. The women shouldnt have been tasered for lipping its not like she is driving like a bat out of hell and got pulled over and refuses to do what the police say an needs to be under control. the cop that killed a guy with a taser would be then put to quart or something worse. I remember seeing a cop use a taser constantly on a guy who was trying to take his wife to the hospital(she was gonna give birth >.>).

  • These won't do any damage at all! Ive opened up a camera and directly touched the battery, or whatever the thing is that shocks you, and yes, it hurt, but I was fine! God damn police, don't they have anything better to do?

  • I've made one of those before, it's like the same when you lick a 9V battery, only on your skin.

  • Haha, thats ridiculus. Police are sad

  • its because the police have nothing better to do..

  • fucking pigs

  • Fucking American schools. If it's a public school that's free, then why bother going if you can't have a little fun? I'd rather go to a fucking private school and do this shit knowing that my parents would be paying 15 grand yearly.

  • this is such bullshit, fucking schools are so neurotic over a little prank...that poor kid is probibly not going to get a decent job because now he has a criminal record thanks to the public schools of fucking america.

  • Comment removed

  • I just checked this out and was surprised over the danger of this. I measured the capacitor holding to voltage to 2kV (2000V). The thing is that there's pretty big current flowing when you touch the flash wires. With a bad heart this could kill you.

  • this shouldn't be on the news lol

  • no way in hell that a camera can actually STUN you, you'll get a strong shock, but nothing major, im sure.

  • Well you are wrong, it won't stun you like a stun gun, but it can give you a big enough shock to stop your heart. It is low volts but very high amps.

  • ehh, so you're saying my heart stopped at least 50 times?

    my friends mess around with this stuff all the time, noones gotten hurt at all.

  • thus the use of the word "can" in my sentence

  • ok, you got me there... lol

    im not saying you're wrong though, it sounds possible, but unlikely.

  • pffff.... sorry but it takes at least a quarter of an amp to stop a human heart, you won't find that in the capacitor that hold the charge, just a higher wattage.

  • Well, you know, as officer goofy said "Electricity can be dangerous".

    Stand by, he just arrested an old woman for using a clapper

  • @mindandbodyasone I think you mean higher voltage.

  • @mindandbodyasone  yah thats so dumb, charging him for a camera,

  • @mindandbodyasone except for people with heart problems and other things wrong with them it can also burn the skin so yea it has the chance of horribly injuring/killing someone

  • Sgt Dunn, guess that means your department doesnt use stun devices / tasers, you know those little toys of yours that kill people... Nah, cause you live in a glass house and would never do or condone something that may cause harm, injury or death to another human being would you..... Scum bags.

  • If its criminal then how is it they the police get away with using them against we the people.

  • lool thats america for ya

  • FUCK YOU.

  • Well, it's TRUE, asswipe.

  • MAN WHAT THE FUCK..

    i shocked my english teacher back in 7th grade with one of em,

    whys it wrong now>.>

  • Gay ass fucking schools always over react...

  • they overreact so much, at school me and my friends throw firecrackers at each other, but of course the fags over react and suspend us

  • no way its just a doble AA battery

  • wen the capacitor in standard disposable camera is fully charged it gives you a hell of a shock. Id like to see that father do it properly in front of the camera , that would be funny.

  • i worked at cvs photo lab and we used to do this stuff all the time with the disposable cameras , i even did it to one of the cops that used to et his pictures developed there ! granted he was pretty cool about it and he had said that it wasnt shit !!! they know what a real one feels like ,,, anyway the capasitor for the flash in no way comes close to the real thing , but it can melt a knife or fork but ,,, just a bit and it wont transfer to your hand when you do it ... trust me i know

  • the copper is saying how a disposible camera can hurt and injure you, wtf are the police patrolling round with like up to 950,000 volt tasers/stun guns?

  • look at that dumbass cop. oviously electricity is dangerous, but the shock produced by touching the two electrodes on that camera is only going to be a bit greater than a static electricity shock. no permanent damage. kid was probably just applying what he learned in physics class. attempted assault? gimme a fucking break.

  • hmmmm....a shock from a single AA battery?? ya that will hurt!!! Sense the sarcasim here?

  • wtf! com'on! it's just a effing prank lol police makes it a big deal.. i'm sure they also do that back when they're teenagers lol

  • "Flashtubes operate at high voltages, with currents high enough to be deadly"

    i touched it i got scared like shit

  • police r stupid honestly it was a prank. the police don't take away those shocking gum packets do they, NO. stupid assholes. pigs should burn in hell and get raped by the devil

  • the law is just stupid sometimes like this. the teacher should of just take that away from him.

    the police are just stupid.

    its a 5$ toy!

  • this is regoddamntarded

    pigs are fucking bitches

  • this is stupid i mad one of these and shocked myself its a little shock like when you rub a baloon on your hair and touch it it shocks you its not something that you should be taken to jail for this dad is rite its a little prank its like 1 or 2 wattz

  • fuck police bitches

  • do you want to know everything about the New World Order, Martial Law and FEMA??--->>NWO-TRUTH,COM

  • tragic, retarded cops

  • even beter is a lighter switch

  • this is stupid i did this shit back in middle school.

  • it is only a AA battery it isnt even bad

  • i figured this fun toy out early in highschool, it certainly dose not "stun" but more or less feels like a very hot pinch to the senses. we tryed it on our toung and it was all very good fun, i say every one should just harden the fuck up and stop being such pussies as we all see daily in this modern world.

    btw, touching the circuit board with a conductive matter (say, a finger?) will discharge the electricity.....i learnt this lol. someone should of charged the camera for the reporter hahah

  • i stuck a real tazer to my ass yesterday and shocked my friend like 5 times

    this is shit compare to that

    this kid shouldnt be charged with anything

    your right

    its rediculouse

  • (Copy & Paste)

    JAARS company has studied that if you get a snake bite or a spider bite, put a stun gun on the wound and it will NEUTRALIZE THE POISON!!!

  • A camera has a capacitor which charges electricity and discharge it all in a sudden for the flash. Capacitors can kill if not dealt with carefully.

  • o god it does not even hurt fuck police

  • o ya the cop says electricity harms you and is deadly....then how come they use tazers that are way more powerful than a disopable camera. tisk tisk tisk pigs

  • SOOOOOO TRUE LMFAO

  • arent stun guns and tazers legal in the states anyway?

  • just like the liberal media to focus on calling an exposed camera flash a "weapon". Idiot alarmist journalist. Wait till they figure out that students cars carry acid in the batteries and combustible gasoline in the gas tanks.

  • id stick it up tat pigs hole if i got a hlod of him

  • ok now if it was an actual stun gun, then i could see it but a camera? i'm no camera buff, but i'm pretty sure it wouldn't do much. not to mention, was the kid being threatened? was he being beat up or something?

  • When this police department decides to issue certifications to their officers to carry tazers/stun guns; Captain Dipshit in part 0:59 should remember what he said about electricity being dangerous.

  • Yes it can shock you and yes it can be dangerous, I've zapped myself plenty of times with these....

    I just hope the fucking cops don't destroy an innocent child's life because they're to fucking stupid to understand whats behind this.

  • wow wat about a prank shocking gum, pen, lighter, and computer mouse. i agree with ChildoftheKorn0

  • It's harmless a photo flash does not have enough power to do serious harm.

    The police are full of dog shit as usual.

  • haha no manswers said that a disposible camera stun gun could kill

  • Your right, it's pretty much like sticking your tongue on a the end of a battery to get a small electric shock. But that isn't the issue the issue is a kid made a stun gun. If people say it's ok to make a mini-stun gun it's pretty much say it's ok to make a better one.

  • wow thts blows.

    its just a lil 1.5v nothing big...

  • manswers said it could kill

  • Some one did that in my school in Ottawa, IL. They don't heart that much, I know, he shocked me to. It was funny.

  • IT was not found by the cops. It was report, the school called the cops. Now I dont know about you but would you rather have a cop deal with that or have a kid pick up a knife and stab 20 or so kids. As long as the kid did not go swing the knife back and forth in front of some one. It would be easy to cut that many and get away with it.

  • I am dam tired of bullshit bullys and parents down playing the fact that his son crap. Along with boys will be boys pig shit. You asshole out there can pay the extra tax because of civil law suits.

  • those cops just jumpped on the first little bit of action they could get. They probably live gay borring lives and they had nothing better to do then to blow this tiny shocking camera thing up into something worth charging the kid for

  • thats pathetic how police are charging the kid with assault for using a weak taser when they misuse 800,000 volt tasers and sometimes end up killing the person

  • thats fucking pathetic

    i did the exact same thing

    it doesnt even hurt

    unless your a complete pussy

  • money for the system

  • fucking stupid i did that when I was a kid too it does fuck all

  • HAHAAHA.. In USA this taser/Chockpistol shall be used by the police but if a police do it here in sweden he will have many years in prison and have to pay a lot of cash for torture.. ;)

  • How can a 1.5 V battery harm you?

  • it's stepped up to 400V by a transformer.

  • lmfao seriosly? we did this shit all the time in school,,, its not even a big shocj its less than a shock pen u can buy at any prank store

  • attempted assault.... are you fucking kidding me? A stun gun makes you fall on the ground. That camera makes you go "oh wow that tingles" They should outlaw pens in school too because you can stab someone with those too!

  • and guess what... that kid probably learned it on youtube.

  • Unfuckingbelievable.

  • i made those in school xP its not that huge of a shock its just the wires from the flash lol.

  • Yeah this is lame. Its the pussification of America.

  • Unbelievable.. that's just stupid

    If they want to prevent this, how about stop selling disposable cameras? Idiots.

  • It's a shame how the general public over react on situations like this one. If I told someone to put a 9 volt battery on their tongue I can go to jail according to this video. Disgusting.

  • i know their just being idiots

  • these arent toys....they're not exactly weapons either

  • Im so glad im past my teens cause U can go to jail for anything now anyone seen that clip where the 5 yr old throwing a tantrum got arrested? Man dont walk across the street or u go to jail for 3 yrs lol

  • Really? You're going to send the poor kid to jail for that?

  • omfg fuck the fucking polise wtf i bet the kid is african fuck sake fucking pigs fucking pussys fucking mother fucker fucke them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • FUCK REALLY BIG FUCK ,.. wHERE ARE THOSE POLICE OFFICER THAT SAYS STUN GUN ARE BAD AND THEY KINDA SAYING IT IS DANGEROUS AND CAN KILL LOL ,..SO WHY THEY KILLED A TEENAGER IN vANCOUVER TASING HIM 5 TIMES AND IN COURT THE JUDGE SAID THERE IS NO EVIDENCE HE DIED FROM BEING TASED 5 TIMES,....

  • I have put my finger in an electrical socket and not hurt thats some bullshit

    that they are charging that kid with

  • hijstmkdhsjkhj

  • I used to get fucking STABBED with stick pins by an asshole at school. I guarantee you it hurt more and was more dangerous than a little jolt from a camera. The teacher told me to punch the other kid in the face the next time he did it so he would stop. What a bunch of bullshit this is. These cops are fucking lame. Catch some real criminals, like rapists or murderers.
