Onhan toi totta, mutta valitettavasti taserin käyttöaste on laskenut jenkeissä naurettavan alas, kun tyypeille on rummutettu kuin nonleathal se on. Eli sitä käytetään ihmisiin jos rupeavat ns. vaikeiksi, vaikkei vaaraa aiheuta, kuten lapsiin:NuoriD kirjoitti: Ymmärrän tuon näkökannan, mutta jos ajatellaan tilannetta, jossa mies juoksee poliisia kohti puukko kädessä, niin onhan se hyökkääjän etu, jos poliisilla on tuollainen piipussa.
In several U.S. states (including Kansas, Minnesota, Kentucky, Virginia and Florida) have been carrying tasers since the early 2000s. In 2004, the parents of a 6-year-old boy in Miami sued the police department for firing a taser at their child. The police said the boy was threatening to injure his own leg with a shard of glass, and claimed that using the device was the only option to stop the boy from injuring himself.
Taser International asserts that the taser is safe for use on anyone weighing 60 pounds (27 kg) or more. Nevertheless, the boy's mother told CNN that the three officers involved might have found it easier to reason with her child. Two weeks later, a 12-year-old girl skipping school was tased in Miami-Dade.[86] In March 2008, an 11-year old girl was shocked by a Taser.[87] In March 2009, a 15-year-old boy died in Michigan after being tased.¨
Unohtamatta että Amnesty Internationalilla on dokumentit ainkain 245 tapauksesta joissa taser on ollut osallisena kuolemaan.
