These Police Will Soon Be Required To Wear Head Mounted Cameras
Sadly, stories about police discrimination and the Tasering of 10-year old girls are frighteningly commonplace these days. Officers in San Jose, CA have a particularly bad reputation, which is one reason why they are being outfitted with head-mounted cameras. More »Cop Tasers and Arrests a 10-Year Old Girl For Throwing a Fit
Are idiot cops with tasers in some sort of competition with one another? I think the new record for stupidity belongs to Dustin Bradshaw, the Arkansas police officer who zapped and arrested a 10-year old girl for throwing a fit. More »Grenade Launcher Taser Can Hit People 197 Feet Away
This is exactly what the world needs: Another taser. This one can be fired using a standard 40-millimeter grenade launcher, which gives it a 197-foot range—three times the range of the XREP. Supposedly, it's non-lethal. Some disagree: More »Guy Agrees to Be Tased @ Giz Gallery '09
Yes, you read that right. We have someone who said he's willing to get tased with a C2 Taser, live at Giz Gallery TODAY. And you better believe we'll have that on camera. UPDATE #2: It's on...tomorrow!. More »At Gizmodo Gallery '09: Tasers!
We really wanted to tase someone live in Giz Gallery '09, but thanks to those pesky, fat cat NYC lawmakers, we can't really do that. But we will be able to let you get down on some target practice with Taser probes. More »What is This?
Is this the entrance to Jason Chen's secret lair where the Gizmodo magic happens? Maybe a place to lock up anyone with swine flu? What on earth requires a HAL 9000 to keep guard? Ah! The floor has the answer. More »Watch The Taser X3 Take Out Three Victims Without Reloading
The question of what to do when police have more than one perp to unnecessarily victimize has finally been answered with the new X3. More »Police Sodomize Man with Taser
OK, this police taser business has gone way too fraking far. Now, Boise officers put a taser inside a suspect's anus—who was already handcuffed—and fired it. Here's a tape. (Warning: Strong audio violence). More »Gasoline-Huffing Man Bursts Into Flame After Being Tased
An Australian man burst into flames after a policeman hit him on the bridge of the nose with his Taser. Sound ridiculous? Not so much if you know the man was arrested on suspicion of huffing gasoline. More »Nevada Police Tase, Arrest Naked 'Terminator'
A man found naked wandering along the Nevada border has been tased and arrested despite his claiming to be a Terminator sent from the future. We're a little upset that police would harm anybody this hilarious. More »Judge Rules It's Legal To Taser Someone For DNA Sample, As Long As It's Not Done "Maliciously"
As long as it is not done "maliciously, or to an excessive extent, or with resulting injury," Niagara County, NY Judge Sara Sheldon Sperrazza ruled that using a Taser to obtain a DNA sample is legally valid. More »What Doesn't Make a Good Taser Shield? A One-Year-Old
What's better than a woman using her baby to shield herself from taser fire? A woman offering up the baby to another man to shield him from taser fire. More »Taser X12 Stun Gun Freezes People From 88 Feet Away
There's a new stun gun called the X12. And it's pretty much a freeze ray without the ice. More »Taser Axon: Cops Goes FPS
The Axon is a bit of a shocker from Taser. It's not a "taser" in a traditional sense, but a POV camera cleverly squeezed into a Bluetooth-sized headset. More »Thunder Stun Gun: 750,000 Volts for 13 Bucks
Study Finds That One-Third Of Taser Victims Need Medical Attention
Only days after Taser International was found liable in a wrongful death suit, a new study conducted by CBC News/Radio-Canada and the Canadian Press have concluded that one in three people shot by a Taser require medical attention. The information was gathered from RCMP incident reports filed between 2002 and 2007. Of the 3,226 tasings laid down during that period, 910 of the victims went to a medical facility to treat their injuries—and many more potentially serious cases did not seek treatment.
