if you are in the united states yes but keep it away , if you are in Canada you may not have one at all , allthough somtimes you can still buy them they are illegal to carry.
In Canada, there is no specific law that prohibits batons; except for spring loaded batons, which are defined as a prohibited weapon under a regulation entitled Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited or Restricted (also capable of being referred to by its registration number: SOR 98-462). However, it is a crime under section 90 of the Criminal Code of Canada to carry any weapon, including a baton, in a concealed fashion. So as long as your baton is not spring loaded and you carry the baton in plain sight you're good to go!
Yes they are, unless you are a police officer.
In some areas a pepper spray but all are equipped with a retractable batons truncheons etc.
It's normally called a nightstick, but most agencies don't carry actual nightsticks any more. Most agencies carry expandable batons now.
Police Batons can be made of quite a number of various materials. Depending on the time period and demographic that the police batons are being used, they can be made from wood, metal, plastic, or rubber.
Only if you buy them from a police auction and are approved to own them. Police can use them as well.
The only equipment they carry - is a stab-vest (optional depending on which force) radio, notepad & pen, torch, and limited first aid kit. They are not authorised to carry CS spray, batons or truncheons.
Police batons are typically made from materials such as wood, metal, or polymer composites. Wooden batons are often made from hardwoods like oak, while metal batons are usually crafted from aluminum or steel for durability. Polymer batons are lightweight and resistant to corrosion, making them a popular choice in modern law enforcement. Each material offers different benefits in terms of weight, strength, and ease of use.
Oh honey, they haven't used "night sticks" since the Stone Age. Nowadays, they use batons or collapsible batons, which are basically the upgraded version of those old-school sticks. So yeah, cops still have something to whack you with if you step out of line. Just don't go looking for trouble, darling.

As far as we know, police only used guns or batons, back then...
