Just following up from yesterdays body armour post, it now seems that German Police have also come up with a similar system... only its for its women officers

The new underwear was developed as a second barrier of defence after normal bras were found to cause injuries while on duty. The officers' bullet-proof vests, while stopping the force of gunshots in an attack, pushed the plastic and metal parts of their underwear into their flesh, causing injury.

Carmen Kibat, a policewoman in Hamburg who tested the new underwear, said: "These can save someone's life so it's not a laughing matter." She organised "Action Brassiere" across Germany, getting hundreds of policewomen to try the bras out in the line of duty.

Sadly at the moment, I cannot find any clips of Officer Kibat testing her underwear!
