I love the way it's legs are as stiff as a board as it falls over.
I got this from the company's website and. predictably, they emphasised the safety aspect. A few cops were on there too endorsing it.
I want one for myself. Tame the local ned population.
There is a risk that Policemem armed with Tasers could be tempted/feel obliged to confront a situation that might be better dealt with by armed backup.
Take that incident recently with the guy with the sword - I could easily see a could of beat policemen making the mistake of trying to take on that situation, messing it up and ending up chopped to pieces.
Personally I can't quite see the situation that is too severe to be handled with existing techniques like pepper spray and batons and not severe enough to require an armed response
There is a theory thaat non-lethal weapons such as Tazers would be preferred to conventional weapons such as guns as the consequences would be less severe.
Therefore I would be concerned that a Tazer would be a valued 'prize' to steal from a PC.
A criminal may then be tempted to use a Tazer more frequently than a gun as they would not risk becoming guilty of murder as much.
I most definately would not want criminals getting their hands on Tazers.
the problem here, i think, is that the public has started arming themselves and combined with the type of behaviour shown by kids who "happy slap" - it should be only right that the police are offered similar protection.
and if/once they do use tazers, no doubt they will be provided with training as to when and how they should use them.
Tazer Guns are powered by 2 x "AA" bateries the sort u get in a walkman or remote control, it is only effective due to the way the energy is discharged. personaly, i think they should only be given to trained officers and not all officers such as how high speed patrol cars are issued to trained officers. so they are very readily available and in the field so to speak at short notice but are controlled in the use. However, the uses of them are very minor as most serious crimes warranting the use, the police are not always present to use them and if firearms are considered involved then the firearms unit are trained to deal with that in a different way.
Tazer guns are best suited to very serious crowd problems or situations such as when people go beserk with swords/knives etc that are cornered but still to dangerous to approach and arrest under normal means
