Taser International challenges Braidwood findings

Article



The manufacturer of Taser stun guns has launched a legal challenge to quash the recent recommendations of the Braidwood Inquiry to restrict police use of the conducted-energy weapons.


The police inquirey decides to restrict use of the Taser. And Taser Corperation is now going to sue them. They're now suing their customers.

This is how business is done in america.


Following the release of Braidwood's first report, the company said the inquiry based its recommendations largely on speculation and that they do not meet the realities of modern day law enforcement.


"realities of modern day law enforcment" ...and what has this got to do with the fact that your weapons are killing people ? Is one of the realities that it's ok to kill one person in a thousand with your product ? Is that a reality ?


Liberal MP Ujal Dosanjh, the party's former public safety critic who has been outspoken on the use of stun guns, said Taser's challenge is a tactic aimed to intimidate.

"I think it's a very flagrant attempt on its part to intimidate the critics of Taser and to discredit the inquiry report of a distinguished jurist," Dosanjh said from B.C.

"They are solely motivated by profit. Public safety can't be their priority," he said, adding the company has a battery of lawyers to "vigorously pursue" any critics.


Don't normally cotton to liberals , but this guy seems to have it right here. You can't sue your customers into buying your product. You cant sue me if I decide I don't want your cell phone. You can't sue me if I decide your car is a piece of junk saftey hazard ! Who the heck started this mess ?
