Taser Guns (EDM292)

Taser Guns

EDM number 292 in 2008-09, proposed by Tom Brake on 15/12/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Police.

That this House expresses concern at the decision to arm 30,000 police officers with Taser stun guns; believes that such weapons should be in the hands of a select group of highly trained officers and used for specific threat purposes; further believes that strict procedures are needed to prevent misuse of such guns; asks that Tasers should not be deployed any more widely than firearms; recalls that Tasers must be used as a weapon of last resort, in situations which fall only just below the point when lethal force should be used; and rejects any move towards fully-armed, US-style policing.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
