Taser safety in that charity event depends upon duration, and the health of the individual. Tasers applied for less than 1 second tend to cause minor muscle contractions, and individuals often jump back when tasered this length. Tasers applied for 1 to 2 seconds cause muscle spasms, and a dazed feeling. Tasers applied for 3 seconds plus tend to cause people to drop to the ground, and become mentally confused.

I would guess that the taser will be applied for less than a second, with the officer being careful to avoid the chest area. Perhaps a jolt to the leg, or some such.

Tasers tend to output 4 milliamps or so. It generally takes at least 50, and usually over 100 milliamps to pose health problems for healthy individuals. It would be a good idea for whoever is tasered to have a check up first to make sure they are healthy, and have a medic standing by just in case. Even dropping to the ground presents safety issues, as they should be careful that the subject doesn't hit his head. Perhaps even a padded surface such as gym mats would be a good idea.

May the Lord bless you.
 
Hey guys, I'm sorry for such a late announcement but the news has been canceled for today. I've been really busy and there's nothing that I really feel like posting anyways. However, don't forget, just one more month to go now until my second annual virtual Halloween party! :biggrin

Drive stuns only lock up the muscle touched and launching projected anode will lock up more 15 sec ride.is the limit on the x26.I was trained in this . the greater the distance between ends the more is shocked and no you aren't in,anyway caused to have mental confusion,as a static shock is all this is. I have beem tazed.

They don't make the X26 anymore. Too many coroners across the nation blamed them. Newer models have different electrical profiles.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience with this.

I am guessing that you were tased in your leg. Accounting for your experience. Volunteers are often given chest armor to wear so as to keep darts away from vitals. In the field, suspects are often tased center mass (easier to hit than a leg), and sometimes in the head by accident. Head tasing can cause convulsions, and other nerve effects.

Aim center mass and it's both you will feel it.the military still uses the x26. Vero pd still does. Plenty of victims have rode out the full ordeal and killed,,punched the cop,and escaped.

I'm for the tazer but its not a unbeatable method of less then lethal .
 
So like speeding,a cop basically can't stop you with a tazer that is effective cuz you the crackhead and or heart condition decide to act the fool.trust me. I know the story a long time fhp told me how hindered law agents are. It was once you failed to obey ,less then lethal could be brought out.now its basically after begging to comply. I'm against police overstepping but I hate the fact criminals get so much protection when its obvious
