yes but they have to be careful when they use them
Tasers are another tool in the use of force spectrum, and their allowable use should be defined in the local police department's manual. There is no universal rule on when someone may be tasered.
Tasers were invented as a non-lethal alternative to fire arms. there are times when they should be used and times when they should not be used. This topic is controversial. Police use tasers to stun and arrest people. Tasers can kill people. Police recently killed a young male with a taser after chasing a suspect. Other people have been stunned by Tasers and survived. It is a very nasty electric shock. Police use force to arrest people. Some say a taser is an improvement on a gun. Others say its police brutality. In some cases they may be right, but police have always used force of one type or another to get control of a situation. The use of tasers by citizens is another question, but if someone is trying to kill you, there would be a right to use one in self defense.
they work
Guns, tasers, police sticks, walkie talkies, etc.
No they are not you can get charged for having one, although many states are trialling the use of tasers in the police force.
One would certainly hope so. The criminals certainly have no rules controlling them.
Not all of them. Many department do however use Taser Cam (a camera that can be added to the X26 law enforcement tasers).
Yes. Police should be allowed to use their mobiles. There is also the concept of the Defence of Duress or Defence of Circumstance, meaning they needed to break a law in order to protect life or prevent a more serious offence. They are allowed to use mobiles for policing only
They can use just about anything a liscensed police officer uses except if they're a convicted felon then they can only use Tasers, Mace, Pepper Ball guns etc.
Of course.
Both tasers and pepper spray are available with a permit or license if you are over 18.
yes they are allowed to use it because if the didnt it would be a struggle for the police to arrest them. and in the UK they are allowed to use it if the crinamal is resisting arrest and being voilent.
