I am not very good at weapons, so I thought hard about this one and tried to be creative. I thought of what kind of future would this weapon have been born from. Usually, new inventions are made to combat current problems. At the time of writing, there has been a lot in the news about young black boys in America being shot often by the police there. I also read a lot about it happening to those suffering from mental health during a breakdown. I thought, what could be made to change the way these police interact with the public? I also don't like the fact that dogs are used in service to police and military.
That's when I came up with P.A.W.S.
Are you a police officer? P.A.W.S. is your new best friend. The Police Apprehensive Weapon System combines the tracking capabilities of a police dog and the stop power of a taser. There is no need for guns anymore! Simply input the suspect's data and let your P.A.W.S. friend track them down. No data? No problem! P.A.W.S. is constantly scanning and updating its own database. The suspect will be caught in no time. P.A.W.S opens up and emits a green light that engulfs the suspect and restricts their movements. Its cute appearance is very non threatening and will keep the public at ease while the suspect is being caught. While there IS a destroy function, it can only be used if authorised by the highest of higher ups for very dangerous operations.

I really like this idea but I did not leave myself enough time to turn it into a full illustration. I learnt to use my head and get creative in situations where I feel out of my depth.
