[QUOTE="donna723, post: 232365, member: 1883"] Muttmeister, I agree with you. Pretty much every police department that uses tasers already [I]has[/I] very stringent guidelines and policies for their use, but when all is said and done, it all depends on the person who is using it and whether they use it as they are supposed to. Where I work, only the tact team is allowed to use them, and they undergo intensive training - and if they ever are used, the entire incident is video taped and very involved reporting must be done afterwards. And even in a prison setting, they are only rarely used - haven't been for years now. And if they ever are used, it has to be a case where the person is in danger of escaping or injuring themselves or others and they can't be subdued any other way. And to think of tasers being available to the general public is just plain nuts! The thought of them being in untrained hands is frightening! Can you imagine kids getting a hold of them, or if the criminals had tasers! [/QUOTE]
