Okay, post title is pure sarcasm.
But more seriously, are there any limits?
From little girls [LINK] and school children [LINK] [LINK], all the way up to 80+ year old men [LINK], there doesn't appear to be any limits. And it's very obvious that relying on common sense is not an effective approach.
If there are no limits, if police or "Security" (sic) can taser 16-year-old girls, or can taser a 14-year-old autistic boy until he is unconcious [LINK], and can carry tasers in middle schools and elementary schools [ibid], then nursaries are next. If you disagree, then what's the limit?
How about a six year old? [LINK]
Are staff in nursing homes going to start using electro-torture to keep the elderly in line?
I can't accuse Taser International of remaining silent on the issue of tasering children. They have no problem with it at all, and assure everyone that tasers-R-safe for anyone at all, even children, so long as they weigh at least 60 pounds. I'm not sure what happens to 59 pound children; perhaps they explode (?).
