SMP Technologies, which supplies tasers to the French police and military, has responded to criticism with a series of legal challenges. They've lost the first case. [LINK]
The head of this silly firm, Antoine Di Zazzo, was recently arrested (along with several fan-boy police officials). Taser disavows any relationship to this loon (well, except that they are still a distributor for Taser - no sign of ending this relationship?).
Some other notable quotes from this story:
The Paris high court, however, threw out SMP's claim, ruling that RAID-H's leaflets had contributed to an international debate on health and safety that was in the public interest and had not abused its right to free speech.
United Nations Committee Against Torture warned that “the use of these weapons causes severe pain constituting a form of torture, and that in some cases it may even cause death."
