Adverse Effects From Tasers Study

No Short Term Adverse Effects From Tasers: Study

A "new study" shows "no adverse short term effects" from Taser user on healthy people.

Auckland Barrister and spokesperson for New Zealand's Campaign Against the Taser, Marie Dyhrberg said this research, conducted by University of California, has glaring omissions, as it failed to explore long-term effects of taser use or how it has affected some with heart conditions, pacemakers or on drugs.

BustedInfo also questions the effect having the paralysing weapon has on police tactics and how it may affect public attitudes toward the police.
