Sophie Khan, an advocate solicitor who specialises in
Taser-related injuries, said the devices were legally classified as
firearms and were not simply for officer protection. She said they
should only be deployed in life-threatening situations.
"We
are going to see a massive increase in the use of Tasers when the
latest figures are published in September. But there are no statistics
to show that police are now in more danger. We ask where is the
evidence? It is a hypothetical scenario they are creating which does not
exist," she said.
