that woman was asking for it..."you were driving, blah blah blah" plus she has a bunch of shit besides the speeding. Course, he's being an ass, i doubt he had to actually shock her.
I got pulled over by a cop going the other way, and she clocked my speed correctly (35 over the limit...haha, whoops)
what a baby, damn. just a little shock.

In how many different ways must one ask for it? And could she have milked it just a little bit longer?

BlitzkriegKommt · 06-08-2005, 01:00 PM

That was not overdoing at all....no sir. Fuck the police.

akito · 06-08-2005, 04:17 PM

I think that police officer was completely correct with doing what he did. He made the attempt to do his job, and he warned her NUMEROUS times. She wasn't abiding by the law, and she was disrespecting the authority. She got what she deserved.

This should probably go in General, since it'll spark some serious debate.

Here's some information I found on tasers.

Quote:

1. HOW DOES AN ADVANCED TASER WORK?

Upon firing, compressed nitrogen projects two ADVANCED TASER probes 15 feet at a speed of 180 feet per second. The probes are connected by thin insulated wire back to the M18. An electrical signal transmits throughout the region where the probes make contact with the body or clothing. The result is an instant loss of the attacker’s neuromuscular control and any ability to perform coordinated action. ADVANCED TASER uses an automatic timing mechanism to apply the electric charge for 5 seconds.

2. HOW CAN THE ADVANCED TASER BE SO EFFECTIVE YET NON-INJURIOUS?

The ADVANCED TASER does not depend upon impact or body penetration to achieve its effect. Its pulsating electrical output interferes with communication between the brain and the muscular system, resulting in loss of control. However, the ADVANCED TASER is non-destructive to nerves, muscles and other body elements. It simply affects them in their natural mode. More importantly, no deaths have ever been directly attributed to the TASER.

3. DOES THE TASER AFFECT THE HEART OR A CARDIAC PACEMAKER?

The ADVANCED TASER’s output is well below the level established as “safe” by the federal government in approving such devices as the electrified cattle fence. In a medical study, Dr. Robert Stratbucker tested the M26 at the University of Missouri and confirmed that the T-Wave does not interrupt the heartbeat or damage a pacemaker. Any modern pacemaker is designed to withstand electrical defibrillator pulses that are hundreds of times stronger than the ADVANCED TASER’s output. The ADVANCED TASER current of 1.76 Joules is well below the 10-50 joule threshold above which cardiac ventricular fibrillation can occur.

4. ISN’T HIGH VOLTAGE LETHAL?

High voltage, in itself, is not dangerous. One can receive a 25,000-volt shock of static electricity from a doorknob on a dry day without harm. The physiological effect of electrical shock is determined by: the current, its duration, and the power source that produces the shock. The typical household current of 110 volts is dangerous because it can pump many amperes of current throughout the body indefinitely. By contrast, the ADVANCED TASER power supply consists of 8 AA alkaline 1.5-Volt batteries capable of supplying 18 Watts of electrical power for a few seconds.

5. WILL THE TASER CAUSE ELECTROCUTION?

No. The output is metered by the electronics and the electrical energy in each pulse is always the same, regardless of the target condition. The electrical output will not be transferred from one person to another even if they touch. Over 1,000 individuals have personally tested the ADVANCED TASER.

6. WHAT ARE THE AFTEREFFECTS?

A person hit with an ADVANCED TASER will feel dazed for several seconds. Recovery is fast and the effects stop the very instant that the M18 shuts off. Some will experience critical response amnesia and others will experience tingling sensations afterwards. The pulsating electrical output causes involuntary muscle contractions and a resulting sense of vertigo. It can momentarily stun or render immobilized. Yet, the ADVANCED TASER’s low electrical amperage and short duration of pulsating current, ensures a non-lethal charge. Moreover, it does not cause permanent damage or long-term aftereffects to muscles, nerves or other body functions. A January 1987 Annals of Emergency Medicine study reported that similar TASER technology leaves no long term injuries compared with 50% long term injuries for gun shot injuries.

7. MUST THE PROBES PENETRATE THE BODY TO BE EFFECTIVE?

No. The electrical current will “jump” up to two inches as long as both probes are attached to clothing or skin. At most, only the 3/8-inch needlepoint will penetrate the skin. They have less energy than a spring propelled BB. Both probes need to contact the body or else contact clothing and be within two inches of the body to stop an attacker.

Based on this, she would have been a little dizzy, and maybe had weak muscular control. But nothing painful.

akito · 06-08-2005, 05:25 PM

Ya, she was over-reacting. That was obvious enough. The officer's response of "We've been tazed before, it's not that bad." really made me laugh, because I knew she was over-reacting.

Great info there about the tazer.. Thanks for that.

getwonk'd · 06-09-2005, 07:05 AM

She was definely a drama queen. I wouldn't want to be tazed so if they said out of the car, I'd get out. The officer seemed to keep his cool even with how she acted.

She was certainly rude and non-compliant and I certainly would have gotten out of the car when asked, but from the moment he said get out of the car to her tazed and screaming seemed rather quick. She didn't appear to be a threat. (It's hard to tell from the camera). Is it appropriate to taze someone when they are non-compliant, but not a threat? (I don't know).

EDIT: I missed the part when the officer said that she took a swing at one of them. It wasn't clear, but if that was the case, tazing seems appropriate.

ObieX · 06-09-2005, 08:24 AM

Thought it was kinda odd how the recording skipped ahead 2 and a half minutes when she was on the ground screaming. Was that the time frame she took a swing at the cop? or was it from in the car?

I dunno how i feel about that whole scenareo.

ratbastid · 06-09-2005, 08:45 AM

On one hand, it very nicely demonstrated how quickly our police officers assert physical control in situations where communication might serve the purpose.

On the other hand, this woman is up for a freaking emmy, the performance she put on. She was on the ground picturing herself as the next Rodney King.

Astrocloud · 06-09-2005, 02:14 PM

Idunknow. I cant really make out her face. Is she young or old? I can picture one of our cantankerous senior citizens acting like this but... I think that tazering her seems a bit harsh.

Cervantes · 06-10-2005, 01:44 AM

Hmm.. Definite drama queen, the police shouldn't have to waste time on that kind of behaviour, they have better things to do.

Out of curiosity, I just have too feel what it's like being tazed someday. Not that I'm going to pick a fight with an officer though..
