BREAKING: Federal court bans cops using tasers or causing pain unless thug is "threat to others"

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

TASER use restricted in 5 states by U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals

A MAJOR court ruling just occurred. Fellow cops and lawyers will know why it's big. Others might.

In short....federal 4th circuit just ruled cops cannot use a taser on anyone resisting arrest UNLESS the resistance is an "immediate threat to others or the officer". If not....the "PAIN" is unconstitutional. Not the tool. The pain (important distinction the court accidentally made).

Came from a mental whacko hugging a pole being detained by court order. He wouldn't let go. Cops gazed him. He later dies (not from the taser) but family sued anyway.

COURT RULED......THE PAIN....not the device...caused a violation of his rights. NOT the taser...just the pain. So....if cops in the future use a pressure point technique to get compliance....guess what? There's now a ruling that causing pain is unconstitutional...UNLESS they are an immediate threat.

So....if you're under arrest.....hug a pole. Cops can't taze you. Can't pressure point you. Can't do anything that causes pain. Period.



If Eric Garner was tazed....he'd probably be alive today.

But NOW......cops are gonna have to fight them. BUT....only in a way that doesn't cause any pain. Because the 4th Circuit Federal Court ruled that if you A) Resist arrest and B) But aren't threatening anyone else.....cops can not cause you any pain. To do so is now illegal.

Holy fucking wow. Mission impossible.

 

[daws101]

Does that mean they better shoot for an instant kill to keep pain at bay?

One in the dome and the ghetto thug wont feel a thing....

Ok killer!

Get ready for the crime rate to explode.

Seriously. That's the standard now set by federal court. Unless they are an "immediate threat"....you cannot cause them any pain in arrest. Absolutely insane.....lawyers are going to sue the nation's cities and counties into bankruptcy!

Every dirt bag is gonna cry "Ouch! That hurts!!" as soon as the cops touch them. AND in the wake of the Freddy Gray shotstorm....EVERY one of those will be taken straight to the ER to get a doctor to evaluate them.

This nation is going to have to have a serious wake up call about the realities of crime and policing.

these feral savage cops have to be reigned in

Corporations are immoral, as are many cops, hence this ruling against their unnecessary use of force.

If a person is not creating "an immediate safety risk," the court said, officers aren't allowed to shock him with a Taser.
If the cop , or anyone else is not in immediate danger, why would they need to use a weapon? To Bully?

We need our guns now, more than ever.

Yep.

I'm stunned by this ruling.

If a thug is threatening the cop or anyone else....causing pain while arresting is ok.

ALL other situations....he cannot be caused to feel pain during the arrest or its now illegal!!!

Imagine....a thug steals your TV and cops chase him. He is running. Cops grab him and tackle him....and he says he feels pain now. That is now technically illegal.

Nope. You just lied.

Utter BS.

You never answered my question. You cant can you?

Read the thread, dumbass.

I did. Your answer was "You wait. You talk."

Um....that often fails. See...thugs and mental whackos don't want to talk.

OH AND....while you're waiting a talking....the Sergeant is saying we just got 911 calls for a robbery in progress....a possible rape....2 burglary alarms at homes....and a fight at a bar. HOW LONG you gonna wait and talk? There are more 911 calls than cops. Wait it out and talk it out isn't going to work most times.

So AGAIN....how are you going to physically restrain that person????

DontTazeMeBro you may be happy....but for you all that means is the cop arresting you won't taze you but instead just use his superior white belt grappling to restrain you when you fight.

.

Most people who flee and resist are NOT an "immediate threat to others". And sometimes they aren't even an immediate threat to the cop (yet) because their resistance is an attempt to escape....not to harm.

But they are under arrest. And sometimes a taser or spray is necessary because the officer cannot get them under control. Thanks to lower standards....many cops aren't as good at fighting as thugs are.

If Eric Garner was tazed he'd be alive. But he was beat up instead.

"Higher courts bind lower courts WITHIN their particular state or circuit. With the exception of the U.S. Supreme Court, courts of appeals and state courts do not bind courts outside the state or circuit in which they are located.

So the ruling posted by the OP does not impact LE outside of the jurisdiction of the 4th Circuit.

That's correct. SC, NC, VA, WV, Maryland I believe. But like Graham v Connor and all the others....this one is inevitably going to the SCOTUS. So....for now....cops in Vegas can still taze DontTazeMeBro when he commits crimes.

The 4th just banned any pain compliance technique used on fleeing or resisting suspects without an "immediate threat". Basically can't use a takedown on a fleeing crook because it could hurt. Can't use a pressure point on a drunk who refuses to walk into the jail.

100% chance the state appeals this to SCOTUS. They have to.

But this case will become the next SCOTUS game changer for law enforcement.

Scenario for any liberal:

A suicidal nut is sitting on the side of a major highway on a high bridge. On the inside of the fence so he's not in danger of falling yet.

He says "Stay the fuck back....or I'll get up and jump. And maybe take you with me."

You "wait it out and talk it out" for 4 hours. It fails.

You could taze him and instantly end it.

BUUUUT....the 4th Circuit just outlawed that.

Now....you have to get near him and fight him. He might stand up to fight....and maybe drag you with him over the edge.

Or....you can just keep Major Highway 101 closed during rush hour. Tens of thousands stuck in traffic. And wait. And wait. And wait. Until he gives up or jumps.


What do you do?
