Thanks for the physics lesson. Point is that 65mph is lethal and so is 80 mph there isn't a significant increase in the risk imo. However like I said before if tommorow it became law that anything more than 5 mph over the posted speed limit will result in automatic tazing......I will be going 63 mph from then on.
Not you, me, not anyone in their right mind would continue to speed. You know this.

What about the guy who was a passenger in a speeding car that got pulled over. The officer ordered the passenger out and on the ground. Then told him to get up. The guy gets up and the officer shoots him in the chest.
The officer later says he meant to say "don't get up"
Wasn't a criminal and did exactly what he was told.
his bad.:Q
So just to be clear and make sure we are on the same page you never speed nor do you know or associate with anyone that does?

Most cops are not corrupt. Most uses of tasers are justified. But, too many times cops are using tasers just to avoid physical exertion or are meeting out their own brand of retribution and street justice. This is something that has been around since the dawn of civilization, but it seems to be on the rise now that they've been given a new toy. I also think there has been a swing to authoritarianism in this post-9/11, Patriot Act world.
Or, maybe it's just the proliferation of cell phone and dash board cameras that are bringing this to the fore. Either way, stopping abuses are a good thing.

Haha no I always speed. I smoke weed. I get drunk. I'm a criminal, who deserves to be tased repeatedly in the face.
If the cops tased for speeding, would I stop? Fuck no. I'd go buy one of those taser-proof jackets and tell the cops to fuck themselves before shooting them in the face and driving away in their car.
LOLLERSKATES!!!!11111
man that is terrific. I can't have my way so I'm going to start killing cops. BRAVO. I am not the stupidest person in this thread now.
Should I have put SARCASM ALERT at th top of my post, or would you have missed that too? :roll:
edit: and I was sure the drive away in their car bit was a dead giveaway...

They hide it in BANANAS! :Q
If the police instituted a police state type subdue first stance on basic violations, I would either leave the country or pick up a taser proof jacket and a great radar detector. If it got worse and they just started rounding people up, then I would consider using deadly weapons. We still have some semblance of Constitutional rights, including the right to bear arms. If the police aim to inflict harm first, they must be beaten to the punch, so to say.
I know it sounds dumb, but I would not stand for such gross rights violations.
Think of it this way, you've got some people in car. They have guns. They are speeding and get pulled. If they know they are just going to get tased and arrested, they are going to either run or open fire on the cops. Or what about that shady looking kid over there who threw a napkin on the ground? As soon as he sees a cop walking towards him, he's going to open fire, since he knows that the cops will find his gun if they get close enough to tase him.
If the police change from people to walking pain machines, I would have no problem defending myself with whatever means necessary.
Anyone but me think that occasionally, it's just easier for one of these jelly doughnut cops to just use the taser so they won't need to physically do some work? I can see where a moment of laziness can come into play.
Why are you opting for such extreme measures when it would be much easier and more beneficial for society to simply comply. I mean if your not breaking the law they will not be tazing you. Its pretty basic.
And your example of guns in the car....I don't know how the presence of a tazer makes the situation anymore dire for the perps.
It would be more beneficial for society if the fear and pain sowing cops were removed from the picture. I have nothing against police, mind you, but if the police in the US devolve into pain and death dealing third world soldiers of the peace, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who wouldn't stand for it and blindly comply.
Using threats of pain and violence to force compliance from the populace of a nation is a major source of violent rebellion.
edit: and for the guns in the car scenario, there's no guarantee that every car pulled over for speeding will get searched, or even have any reason to be searched. But if every person is removed from the vehicle and tased, I'm pretty sure the cops would find the guns.
I like your sig btw

It's a good point, but we have been slowly walking down that path in this country for a while. The good news is that there is a sense of balance too. There are limits to how far we allow it to go. I just hope it stays that way.
I guess I would prefer it if they followed your logic more and have it actually work, but I don't know how to make it work and keep the officers safe considering the people these days
. I know it would have to be a long sophisticated process. Many years of slow adaptation.

That would certainly be far better, but that is not what we are talking about. We are talking about the people dying from what is being used right now.

Which would you rather do, taser someone who isnt cooperating then slap the cuffs on them, low risk to yourself, slight risk to the offender. Or would you rather wrestle and fight around with the person on the ground risk being bit, scratched or even killed by the person, HIGH risk to you, mild risk to the offender.
