| 382352 | 2005-08-19 23:19:00 | IT IS ILLEGAL TO GIVE ANYONE ELSE A ELECTRICAL SHOCK Yet Jaycar keep selling them, from there advertising pages Page 3 that came with last Thursday NZ Herald. "The pain machine game" $59 "Shocking shooting game" $85 "Shocking lie detector" $48 "Remote Controlled battle tanks" $99 "Russian roulette without the gun" $24 +95 cents to all the above Im just blown away how nobody has not made a complaint over these products and had them removed from sales. |

| 382356 | 2005-08-20 01:20:00 | I know about the toys, but if a statement about whether something is illegal is shouted from the roof tops in lurid words for all to hear, :) then documentation should be referenced to prove it. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 382357 | 2005-08-20 01:28:00 | Like Terry back up your claim. We are not talking 240 volts here are we ? Does that make electric fences illegal then ? |

| 382358 | 2005-08-20 01:56:00 | Like Terry back up your claim. We are not talking 240 volts here are we ? Does that make electric fences illegal then ?When i last bothered to read the electrical regulations, there was a whole section thingy devoted to electric fences, and yes, if used incorrectly they ARE illegal! To be legal they must not be used in combination with barbed wire, and if used as a security fence, or publicly accessable, they must have suitable warning signs. (yes we know farmers tend to ignore this) There were other things about them too, but i cant remember all the details....... I don't recall anywhere that said thy shalt not have toys that give mild electric shocks, or thy shalt not give mild shocks to others, as ERR (not Terry) suggested. Perhaps the registered sparkys here might know? |

| 382359 | 2005-08-20 02:51:00 | Items capable of giving stronger shocks were sold in huge quantities as "medical" devices in Victorian times. They are probably still sold. Under that guise, fasle pretences would be the best way to deal with them legally. However Jaycar are selling toys. They are less "dangerous" than a water pistol. I'm more concerned about the toys the police want to buy. "Tasers" are dangerous. They can kill. Jaycar don't sell them. |

| 382360 | 2005-08-20 04:11:00 | Actually this looks more like clever spam to advertise jaycar rather than a legitimate post. Either that or Err is suffering from one of those disorders that disables them from seeing the funny side of jokes. BTW jaycar are a great shop, really facinating to visit :) |
