Section 7.1 of the Association of Chief Police Officers’ Policy for TASER use by non-firearms officers states :

The most recent DOMILL [The Defense Scientific Advisory Council (DSAC) Sub Committee on the Medical implications of Less Lethal Weapons ] statement reference DSTL/BSC/27/01/07 dated 30 May 2007 identifies that children and adults of smaller stature as being at potentially greater risk from the cardiac effects of Taser currents than normal adults of average or large stature. DOMILL recommends that STUs [Specially Trained Units] should be particularly vigilant for any Taser-induced adverse responses in this subset of the population.

I do not want to live in an environment where the Police have TASERs, are permitted to use them against children and are free to use them in situations where they would not have resorted to firearms had TASERs not been available.
