Quoted in The Argus - Brighton Taser

Sophie Khan, who specialises in Taser-related incidents for McMillan Williams Solicitors, said the use of the Taser in this instance was “definitely questionable”.
She said: “I think there’s better understanding of Taser use since they were introduced but the public need to knowthe impact Tasers have and when they should be used.
“They should be only used if the individual is posing a threat to the safety of the police or public order.
“Where individuals do not have a weapon and are already cornered, the use of the Taser would be unjustifiable.
They should use traditional police methods, not the Taser.”
