Supremes Bar Use of Shackles in Court

Not a very good idea, but I suppose there is technology out there that could supplant the obvious chains. I think the concern for the safety of the court personnel is completely valid in this case. But I think it can be easily overcome.

Just think of a combination of that taser and a chastity belt. You can guess where the electodes would go. All you need is to have the bailiff with the hot switch and the violent defendant will wish he were dead.
