There is no "law" on when an officer may use a 'Taser-type' weapon. General guidelines usually state that it is permissible to employ the device during any show of non-compliance with, or physical resistance to, the officer's verbal commands. It is a less physically injurious substitute for the use of a blackjack, baton/nightstick, or sidearm.

Can a cop search your car if you got pulled over for speeding?
Unless the officer discovered probable cause during the traffic stop (or had probable cause prior to), then no, the search was illegal. The officer would have needed to obtain probable cause to search the vehicle, in reference to Carroll v. United States. The prior answer referenced "Search Incident to Lawful Arrest" and that was incorrect. During a traffic stop for speeding, generally, no one is being arrested, and "Search Incident to Lawful Arrest" only allows the the officer to search for evidence related to the arrest, which for speeding, there wouldn't be any such evidence.
