History

The article lacks any info on the history of invention, design criteria or manufacture of these restraints. Surely this lack could be remedied fairly easily by an editor with personal knowledge of the background? yoyo (talk) 08:39, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been on my list to clean up for years now, but it’s always been such a low priority. I doubt you’re going to find anyone with more personal knowledge floating around these parts, so you may as well have a whack at it if you have the time.
Some more depth can be found here: What Are ‘Spit Hoods,’ and Why Do the Police Use Them?, with its comfortingly intuitive title. It covers a lot of basic points that we should also include. I would recommend changing § Justification for use to “Design and use” and expanding detail there. — HTGS (talk) 09:14, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
