Tasers

A taser is defined as an electroshock weapon that uses electrical current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles. If you have ever been struck by a taser, then you will experience intense muscle contractions caused by the overstimulation of your sensory nerves and motor nerves. Tasers are serious weapons that are used by the police force. However, tasers should only be used as a last resort and when the criminal is causing imminent danger to others around him.

If you have been struck by a taser by an arresting police officer, then you may feel like your rights have been violated. Contact Minnesota police misconduct lawyer Zorislav R. Leyderman at 612-876-6626 to discuss your case and get the legal and professional assistance you deserve.
