I Just saw this on instructables... Should have known it came from Hackaday! I posted this comment before coming here and seeing that I am not the first person to consider this awesome (if possible) improvement. But, I managed to use 1000x the words so, heck, ill repeat what Zee just said in a more annoying version:

AFAIK, unless the fiber is grounded in some way, it can only disperse so much energy (into heat?). Our bodies are poor conductors, but are conductive to a high voltage charge with nowhere else to go. 

So, give the charge any easier path away from you and, even with a probe embedded in your skin, it wont shock you. So, what if the fiber had two isolated layers with high capacity super capacitors between them to create a negative charge on the outer layer, and an opposing positive charge on the inner layer? This would create a complete circuit through the super capacitors which would not only safely reroute a direct lightning strike (might get warm tho) but would actually attract and absorb the charge into the capacitors so quickly it could drain the tiny taser battery in seconds, likely destroying it and/or catching it on fire. At the very least, it would become to hot to hold. 
Then, as the bad guys are pissing themselves over your obvious invincibility (forming a nice, conductive path from ground, direct to their bladder) you encourage them to try a more physical approach. Upon contact, the entire 2000kV charge is instantly discharged back to it's rightful owner, which should transport the crook a sizable distance away from you. This would ensure escape and that you will NEVER be messed with again! 

As an added benefit, kids who spend hours rubbing their socks on the carpet, plotting an evil attack would receive perfectly proportioned justice immediately :)
I dabble in electronic engineering as a hobby. But I am not sure If my logic is correct here? Im hoping someone will help me to understand if I am right or wrong, why, and what other methods could work without having to drive a lightening rod 20ft into the ground?? Laptops, cell phones and aircraft manage to work with high energy without earth ground connections somehow. I THINK this is achieved by having multilayered copper PCB boards with a -V and +V charged planes on the outside. I assume that using "negative voltage" in opposed equilibrium to the positive voltage, instead of the traditional "neutral ground" circuit is what makes this possible. But, that is just my assumption. Please, someone explain if I have this wrong???

Why not add a metal screen layer that has .88 capacitors that can feed back the pulse to the taser to overload or disable the device from being reused?

Yes, it can. We have a few stun guns and can make a demonstration video. Please, offer your script or screenplay.

This can prevent the stun guns, seems pretty bad, how do, I also want to try

blooming cool my pals in SA will love this the police force there can get enthusiastic

"I applaud whoever came up with that idea and it sounds like a great science project, but for it to work, you'd need to be covered in the clothing from head to foot," Taser's vice-president for communication Steve Tuttle told IBTimes UK.

There are other reasons for wanting protection besides subverting police. Security professionals and trainers, for example, come to mind. Although the frequency with which some members of law enforcement wantonly deploy tasers, unfortunately too often on individuals not even then arrested for whatever behaviour elicited the tase, might suggest there's more of a market for personal protection than we'd like to admit.

Try My circuit for testing :)

Your feedback would be gladly appreciated

Hi Shenzen, do you have a link to the tape you used? I am a about to make a jacket like this. With all the options out there, I do not want to purchase the wrong fiber. After some research, I narrowed it down to possibly the 2" width version of this http://www.fibreglast.com/product/Carbon_Fiber_Tape_597/carbon_fiber_all

Can you confirm this is what you used, and would work best in a suit?

Thanks.

Hi Richard.
The tape you linked designed to reinforce structures. It also conducts electricity and can protect against Taser, but it is very tough and can not be used in clothing. It will be very uncomfortable jacket :) We will see immediately that there is something inside of his jacket.

I used a carbon tape, what is intended for the manufacture of heated clothing. This tape feels like a silk cloth, it is very thin, soft and gentle:

Ha ! Cory Doctorow covered this on Boing Boing too : http://boingboing.net/2014/03/06/make-taser-proof-clothing-with.html . Now that's something ...

Wow, you're project is on Gizmodo. Nice!

Dear Sarah,

Fortunately I do not need protection from Taser. This project is interesting to me as the engineer. You know there is the eternal confrontation between the sword and shield, armor and bullets. Taser won and I was wondering to figure out how to defend against it. I was able to make a very good and not expensive protection. Anyone can make such protection just in an hour . At the moment, it's 100% protection against any type of stun guns.

Carbon tape consists entirely of thin conductive carbon fibers. Electric current flows through the carbon tape and not through the human body. Always. Even if the taser's needle pierced the skin.

It's good to see you've considered the probes on a real TASER brand stun device. I imagine this happens because the carbon tape has a much lower resistance than human skin?

I wonder if there's any potential for burning, which would still be a significantly more desirable experience then taking the charge from a stun device.

Very interesting indeed! Could you give some feedback on my 2 projects? They are right up your alley....

Two questions:

How does this work? How does carbon tape block the shock?
And
Why do you need stun gun proof clothing?

Yes, you're right, carbon tape has many other useful applications.
For example, the carbon fiber tape is very useful as a heating element for clothing. Please see my next project.

-Sarah "Why do you need stun gun proof clothing? "

Sarah, the question you ask answers itself. In fact its such a simplistic form of a question that really makes the words you speak when asking it seem redundant.

Sorry no offence is or was intended, but I hope you understand what I mean.
