Is this the next generation of Taser? Prison to test new laser beam to 'burn' fighting inmates

"It looks like something out of a video game, but this monstrous machine could come in very handy for breaking up prison fights.

The Assault Intervention Device (AID) emits an invisible laser-like beam to trigger a brief but painful burning sensation and has been touted as a new type of Taser gun.

Officials plan to set up the machine in a detention centre dormitory in Castaic, California, although it has not yet been given the green light by its federal sponsor."

"A video shows Los Angeles prison guards having fun as they try it out on each other, despite the hit being ‘excruciatingly painful’."
