Tasers

[Frideswide]

If someone is tased, will the effect travel to people who are holding the original person?

It can happen if you were to touch the part of the tazee between the two probes.

Fnarr!

These probes.

They actually look like they would hurt just as much when pulling them out, as when they go in;

 

[Floyd]

I believe that all coppers have to experience being tased.
Please tell me that Maximus didn't leave the force until they'd been brought in.

 

[Floyd]

See, this is what I love about this place - no one has actually been inconsiderate enough to ask why the O/P wants to know this.
Over the years we've learnt to look the other way and not ask too many questions.....................

Very unlikely. Training videos always show the police “victim” being held up by two colleagues.

This article doesn't exactly answer the OP question, but it does mention two different settings - a "drive stun" and "full deployment".

It also mentions that people react differently to being tasered depending on any health issues. I can't imagine that someone with a pacemaker should try it.

Thinking about defibs which interrupt signals to the heart (a muscle) and training which tells everyone to say "standby" so that you are not touching the person who is receiving the defib.

I would not be the one who would try touching someone being tasered to find the answer

This! I was thinking about just this, and then that there seemn to be a lot of videos of USA Police piled on top of and around a suspected perp and someone is saying to taze the suspect.

I thought it was a strange reference to someone being tased ie, ow**~~~~~~####''''###!!!
He's at that age now where you sometimes have to humour him.
We want to put him in a home really, but he refuses to go.

 

[Frideswide]

he refuses to go.

and, lets face it, he's tooled up and ready to slaughter!

Hang wringing should come after a mornful sigh I'd have thought. ?

Thinking on, to participate in my sport I've had to demonstrate 50 years of impeccable character, undergo a police background investigation and provide the written approval of my doctor. It's the rest of you heidbangers that I should be worried about!

Thank you. I do believe that's a compliment.

It's how it works here.
We rip the mick out of Maximus as much as we can and he gives it us back.
He loves us really.

That explains it.

A genetic or cultural cause for bad spelling, you say?

Does make you wonder what would happen to someone who had a pacemaker fitted. I suspect that the taserer won't ask first. Then you get the odd officer who mistakes her gun for a taser.

Hadn't realised that the probes were barbed. If it was something similar and you went to hospital with it stuck in you, there'd be x rays and anaesthetic involved in removal. Who takes this out once you've been probed?
