Quoted in The Times
Sophie Khan, a solicitor-advocate and legal director at the Police
Action Centre, said: “The use of a Taser on this occasion has to be
called into question. The police action may have been excessive. The use on
children is only allowed if it is the only feasible method of restraining
the child. It’s only there if there are no other alternatives to restrain
the child.
“Often officers can say they weren’t aware of behaviour issues, but in this
case they must have been aware. Using a Taser on someone suffering some kind
of behavioural difficulty or disability is something the policy or guidance
doesn’t allow.”
