I'll be sure to record my fame of being tased for youtube.

There are no long term effects. After getting tased, you can get right up and shake it off.

Not unless you count death as a long term effect.

Healthy people do not die from getting tased. This is why police officers all have to get tased before being allowed to carry one. If it weren't safe, they wouldn't allow it. The odds of you dying from a taser hit is very low.

But yet people die from being tased. Why risk it? Before agreeing to be tased you should seek the advice of a doctor. It just may save your life. :thumbsup:

Of course that is great advice. But statistics show that getting tased is safe.

According to this, the odds of dying are between 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 100,000. I'd say that this is pretty safe when you factor in the other information in the article.

No, I'm not a criminal. I play for the other team. It's hard to describe the feeling but it is like you can feel the electrons running up and down your body. You have no control over anything but you mouth a bit. I heard more cussing and screaming today than I have in a long time. Nothing like a long drawn out Goooooodddddd Dammmmmnnnn iiiitttt. One guy even yelled mommy. A women that was there said she would rather go natural child birth again than be tased. It's the longest five seconds of your life. It feels more like five minutes.

*snicker*

Don't laugh man, the baton up the ass that follows the tazing is serious business.

They really should outlaw those things. How do you know if someone who is intoxicated has a heart condition? I am sure they much rather wake up with a crapload of bruises than be dead from a stupid ass taser.

What if they were trying for super-electroejaculation?

That's well enough for him since he "plays for the other team."

Do you have to get pepper sprayed? A buddy of mine works for a federal agency and told me he'd take the taser any day of the week versus the spray.

You are an idiot, aren't you?

The key to being sprayed is to not inhale once you see the can. Sure the eyes burn and you can barely see, but inhaling that shit is 10000000x worse.

Last night I watched a special on tazers. They took a random sample of 44 tazers from various police forces across the US (this was done in MTL, I dunno why they used the US, maybe a larger pool of tazers?). 6 of the tazers malfunctioned (didn't work) and 4 of them the amperage (I believe, I'm no electrical engineer and don't know too much about this stuff) was 50% higher than it should be.

The cop looked like he hated his life when they were telling him the results. The company who makes them also does not suggest testing/calibrating tazers, because it's impossible for the weapon to deliver a charge higher than it is designed for. This was testimony by the company at an inquiry into a Vancouver man's death. Also, Canadian cops adopted using the tazer based on an Australian study which involved the testing of a single weapon.

The guy who oversaw the survey is a bio engineer and said that if that increased shot was delivered near the heart it had a good chance of causing cardiac arrest to a even a healthy person.

Also, isn't heart disease EXTREMELY common?

I think tazers would be fine as opposed to using a gun (much less chance of dieing), but I think that's a silly argument. Any situation in which a cop would need to use their gun they're still going to use it. You think they would have shot "don't taze be bro" if the tazer had never been invented?
