Here is the video of the incident. Seems pretty ridiculous to me, but maybe he was trying to avoid actually hurting her, maybe. Seems like he have subdued her without the taser though.

I think cops should bring video iPods with Cocoon or Murder She Wrote loaded so they can distract the elderly and avoid situations like this. ---------- This post brought to you by the worst PVP'er in Eve |

She was being difficult. I guess we could just let the elderly drive pickups at 60mph in a 45 zone... what with their incredibly slow reactions and all, it would be safe! The fact she was barely 5 feet tall also probably meant she had no chance of seeing over the steering wheel.
Fact is - if the law isn't enforced on everyone, the elderly will just get wise and use their age to commit crimes. Its quite obvious she thought she was impervious to law enforcement by the way she was acting.
However, what he really shoulda done was thrown some knitting and a bottle of peppermint cordial at her - she would have calmed down straight off. Hes lucky she didn't have a heart attack or something, makes you realise that we kinda need a better way of immobilising people without the need for 50,000 Volts.

No, I feel great sympathy for the officer who was trying to do his job. And I have no sympathy for people who are speeding and then want to argue with the police over it.

You better watch this video, too.
It contains a little bit more of the original footage and shows the "lady" how she tried to get up while the tazer was on her, risking to get a second tazer shot! The screaming is faked. -- If there is anything in your life you fear of losing, then keep your mouth shut once in a while. |

While its unusual for me to agree with Whitehound, I do on this point. I work with old people a lot and I'm going to let you in on a little secret - age does not change a person's attitude. A nice, sensible person at 40 will be a nice, sensible person at 70 and a stroppy, argumentative person at 40 will be a stroppy, argumentative person at 70.
Yes, a high percentage of elderly people do have heart issues but a person that's just been mowed down by a recklessly speeding car also has heart problems, especially when its been laminated to the road. |

Originally by: ceaon for me the question is: a taser can damage a old person heart ? most of old ppl have hearth problems
No. The pulses of a tazer run almost entirely across the skin. There have been studies regarding the safety of tazers including old people with pacemakers where it had little to no effect on the person's heart.
A tazer is then better to twist an old woman's arm, and she might have started hitting and biting the officer, at which point he would have needed to come down on her real hard.
The lady was completely out of her mind, almost like she was drunk. Perhaps she was taking some medication and should not have been driving at all. She got herself aroused the second she refused to comply with the officer's demand to sign the ticket. Any heart attack would have been entirely her own fault. If the officer had not tazered her but allowed her to drive away could she still have suffered a heart attack in her car. It is often when the adrenalin stops flowing that people get a heart attack. |

Edited by: Xen Gin on 11/06/2009 11:33:32 Gosh gee, a little old woman like that, and he couldn't physically restrain her. Come on, there is something seriously lacking and wrong with a police force if a cop can't physically restrain an OAP and has to resort to a taser. |

It is not only high-voltage but it also operates at a high frequency, too, which makes it much less invasive. Even when you try to run a high-frequency signal throw a solid copper bar will it mostly travel on the surface of the bar, but not through its centre. |

And when the Dukes of Hazard were kicking the sheriff's butt, when the Blues Brothers created the biggest car crashes, when Rubber Duck survived his fall of the bridge in his truck, and everyone did the Canonball run. The tazers ruined it all. Please step out of the car, sir. |

Seems a bit excessive but the cop is on a hiding to nothing, if she decides to resist arrest at some point he has to use force, but that force has to be tempered which in turn is its own problem, she obviously thought her age made her above the law and her manner was arrogant, hardly going to help her case.
Lets not forget at the end of the day she was speeding and breaking the law, who's to say if the cop had ignored it and let her go she wouldn't have caused an accident and hurt or killed some one.
Its a pity there will never be a away to show how many accidents and deaths are avoided because of speeding laws being enforced.

But I guess now they are used for ****s and giggles.
As far as I'm concerend the ho' was clearly armed. False teeth count, right?
edit - put hoe instead of ho (twice), guess I'm not up on the times. |
