Comment: With all the spate of recent tasing incidents lately, I perceive that LE's readiness to used the device as a primary resource, in situations where verbal de-escalation would suffice, will lead to yet more global restrictions on its use. Police forums discussing this incident (guess which ones ), seem blissfully unaware of this possibility; and derive great entertainment from these videos. What's up with that?
Meanwhile, Taser International, attempting to defend their product and stock value, continues to tout "perfect safety record" (impartial as they are).
Some mention is made that "no one knows how this video got released". Possibility of more charges heaped on the motorist for the ubiquitous "impeding an investigation" charge. That'll show'im!
Stay tuned for more on this holiday weekend (just a hunch).
Is it really illegal to ask what speed you're being accused of traveling, when issued a ticket? I would think that number would have been written on the summons; the officer steadfastly refuses to answer that question, for some mysterious reason. Another public relations triumph.
