The use of traditional tasers by law enforcement is fascinating.

A Polish immigrant was tased by Canadian police while in handcuffs, and died as a result. [1]

When investigators asked for the studies and data about how tasers were proven safe for use on humans, the answer was “what?”.

Turns out nobody tested, or certified or in any way figured out of tasers are safe on humans. Companies just started making them and selling them to police forces en mass.
