More from “what did they do before Taser” file: Ohio patrolman stuns cuffed, inebriated woman multiple times


Jeff Hess got me going on this topic. Read the story and view the video, courtesy of NewsNet5.

Read about excessive use of Tasers in the U.S. here.

Connecticut’s Office of Legal Research produced this report which compares Taser use guidelines from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) with those recommended by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF).

Here’s a 2005 GAO report on Taser use.

What I can’t find is a comparison of how much safer the law enforcement people or the arrested are, or anyone else is for that matter, now that there are Tasers. I’m sure there must be something on that, because how else would we justify the continued use of the thing?
