Lady Cop, of course, would be the expert on this but it is my understanding

that the "witch" in question was being just a BIT dramatic! I read reports of

LEO's getting tazed during training, and it hurts, but the woman in this

video was over the top!

One good way to avoid it: When the nice officer tells you to get out of

your vehicle, DO IT!!

Sorry to all, I think I posted this in the wrong place! Should have gone

in "Crimes and Trials" maybe!!

LC, so when you shoot the prongs are they attached to wire? i just wondered what the cop was untangling from the woman.

Is it just law enforcments that use them or can citizens buy them?
