[QUOTE="Anaheimfan, post: 232375, member: 6263"] Kids: Should never be used. Teenagers: Kind of a grey area for me. Personally, I think tazers should ONLY be used if the person is FULLY aware of the fact that they are resisting arrest/police, or are FULLY aware that they are presenting a danger or threatening anyone. A child may not realize that he is resisting arrest or know what's happening, same for some teenagers--That being said, I think tazer use should be restricted to persons over the Age of 18, or those who are fully aware of their actions. --Like the case where the RCMP tazered the young man from Holland, he couldn't speak any English, and had no idea what was going on, but he wound up getting tazed. Same goes for the use of Pepper Balls, Beanbags, and any other "less lethal" device: Only use as a LAST RESORT, and only on people who are FULLY AWARE they are committing a crime, resisting arrest, etc. There are MUCH better ways to subdue kids and young adults than giving them a near-fatal shock.
