Which method of OC delivery uses a steady line of liquid to minimize accidental exposure?

The stream method of OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) delivery is designed to provide a controlled and directed application of the irritant. This method releases a narrow, focused line of liquid that allows the officer to aim accurately at a suspect while minimizing the chance of the spray dispersing into the air and affecting unintended targets, such as innocent bystanders or the officer themselves. The stream is less affected by wind than other delivery methods, making it particularly useful in outdoor situations, as it provides a clear trajectory and reduces the risk of accidental exposure to those who are not the intended target. Thus, the effectiveness of this method relies on the ability to minimize overspray and maintain safety for both the officer and the surrounding environment.
