Keep it down or I'm going to TASER you. I SAID KEEP IT DOWN OR I'M GOING TO TASER YOU. OK, I'M GOING TO TASER YOU. ;-) I suppose you could taser the taserer when they're off-duty if they were particularly evil about their initial use of one. Ok, that’s enough out of you.

I don't think the tasers are going to revolt anytime soon though. ;) Adam, "used on" does sound better. Thanks for the feedback. I didn't put a lot of work into polishing the laws. They could use a little work for sure, but as long as people get the point ... that's the important part. Hey Brian,

Adam,

I'd tweak the first law though to replace the words "used to injure" with just "used on", because a convenient defense could often be that the detainee wasn't injured. Tasers, as with any weapon, just shouldn't be used at all unless absolutely necessary - which was your point. Nice post.

You do remember though in I, Robot, that the robots said f**k the 3 laws and tried to kill everyone. ;) Good luck getting anyone to follow these.

Tasers aren't going to go away (although there's talk in some circles). They need to be used for the situations they were designed for. Unfortunately, there's a narrow window of situations between just physically handling a suspect and having to draw a sidearm. But in that narrow window, there's an opportunity to save lives by using a taser. Only a strict set of engagement rules is going to stop the free-for-all use of them in situations where the better option is clearly to manage the ordeal or wrestle the guy down and take him into custody without a weapon.

I think Issac was on to something here. Maybe they should legislate this into actual law especially when it comes to the use of taser's. I think more crisis management training is needed for sure. It will only benefit the police officer as well the unarmed individual. Unfortunately some have had to die to get us all to wake up and pay attention to this very important issue. Lets hope it was not in vain we owe it to ourselves in act laws to protect our interests first and then the states not the other way around. Your comments could have not come at a better time.
