"Recent media stories have caused debate about the lethality of electronic control devices sometimes called "tasers"* or "stun guns." This article is intended to outline the current legal principles regarding the deployment and use of such devices. Overall, the areas of constitutional law regarding the use of such devices are somewhat clear. However, aspects of potential liability under state tort claims of negligence are less than clear."
