    No, circuits don't work that way, and the tasers are effective because they use a computer to time shocks in such a way that it forces your muscles to spasm so you can't move.

      Wait, I meant you can't make clothes that shock people reliably. There are a couple of one-off proof of concept dresses for shocking grabby creeps in night clubs, but nothing you could really use in a scrum.

      As far as defense, though, tasers are notoriously unreliable and if you can prevent one dart from embedding in skin you can often negate the taser. That means loose clothes, tight woven fabrics, leather, layers. That said, Cops only really use tasers when they don't feel threatened, so if they're tasing you they probably don't think you're able to run away or fight them.
