I'm all for law and order, but this situation was plainly handled in the wrong fashion. That officer tasered that speeder mighty fast for my taste. Yes, the officer did tell him to put his hands behind his back and yes the fellow started walking back towards his car, but come on. I think there needed to be a little more hostility on the speeder's part before getting tasered like that.
Tasers do have their place and time, for they have saved lives and helped law enforcement to get unruly suspects under control. Unless warranted otherwise, an officr should use the more basic methods first before applying the taser.
