Quoted in The Argus -Tasered Brighton shoplifter launches excessive force appeal 30 October 2013


Sophie Khan, legal director of Police Action Centre, said: “The Police Action Centre have lodged a complaint on behalf of the man tasered by Sussex Police on July 5.
“The use of force was excessive and disproportionate as he did not pose an immediate risk to the officers at the scene or the wider public.
“The police officers failed to carry out their duties to a requisite standard necessary to safeguard the man’s welfare and as a result the man suffered injuries to his face and arms.”
